Butterberg, Mountain summit in Bad Harzburg, Germany
Butterberg is an elongated mountain summit in Bad Harzburg reaching 325 meters in elevation. The ridge formation rises above the surrounding foothills with accessible trails leading to the top.
The summit received protection status in 1952, marking an important moment in preserving Lower Saxony's natural heritage. This designation helped ensure the long-term conservation of the hillside and its surroundings.
The name Butterberg originates from Low German terminology, reflecting the traditional naming practice for hills situated on town outskirts.
Various hiking paths connect from Bad Harzburg to the summit, with the western route running alongside the Radau river. Good footwear is recommended since the terrain includes rooted sections and steeper slopes on the ascent.
The rock formations display steeply inclined strata that belong to the Northern Harz Boundary Fault system. This geological structure reveals tectonic processes that have shaped the broader Harz landscape over millions of years.
