Brelinger Berg, Moraine summit in Wedemark, Germany

Brelinger Berg is a 92-metre-high hill in the Wedemark municipality north of Hanover, formed as a push moraine during the Saale Ice Age around 230,000 years ago. It lies within the Brelinger Berge landscape protection area, designated in 1967 and covering 9.845 km², and also holds a roughly 5-hectare NABU Wedemark site on former sand and gravel pits. A Gauss stone marks the highest point.

The hill was pushed up by glacial ice during the Saale Ice Age around 230,000 years ago as a push moraine of the Rehburg phase. In 1828 the mathematician and geodesist Carl Friedrich Gauss carried out a land survey at the highest point, where a Gauss stone now marks the spot.

The summit takes its name from the nearby village of Brelingen and serves today as a quiet destination for walks in the open countryside. Visitors can trace how glacial action shaped the land into its present form while moving through the area.

The area features multiple walking paths that begin from several starting points including two cemeteries and a village market street, giving visitors flexibility in planning a route. The trails are straightforward to navigate and work well for a half-day or full-day outing.

Artist-designed stations along the path use sculptures and installations to show how ice age processes carved the land into its present shape. These creative elements make it easier for visitors to understand the powerful geological forces that worked here thousands of years ago.
