Box-Berg, Mountain peak in Naturpark Aukrug, Germany

Box-Berg is a 76.8-metre moraine hill in the Naturpark Aukrug, rising beside the B 430 between Bucken and Homfeld. Its summit opens a wide view over the wooded park. The hill is now thinly wooded, mainly with pines and beeches, and about 7–8 hectares of open heath remain around it.

This elevation formed during the Saale glacial period approximately 120,000 years ago when glaciers shaped the geological structure of the region. The ice age landscape continues to define the character of the entire area.

The name comes from Old German 'Booksberg', meaning beech forest, which reflects the historical presence of beech trees that once dominated this woodland. Visitors can still see deciduous forests today that shape the character of the surrounding landscape.

The site is maintained by the Kurt and Erika Schrobach Foundation with careful management of forest growth and heath preservation. Bring proper footwear and be prepared for changing weather conditions typical of this northern region.

The Kurt and Erika Schrobach Foundation acquired the Boxberg in 2007 with support from the state of Schleswig-Holstein. Around 8 hectares of open heath around the summit are protected under the EU Fauna-Flora-Habitat Directive. In winter the Expressroute-Boxberghöhe is a popular sledging slope.
