Totenberg

The Totenberg rises to 408.1 meters above sea level, forming the highest point of the Bramwald mountain range in Lower Saxony.

The forest area gained special status during the reign of Charlemagne, who declared it a restricted imperial forest without local usage rights.

Two half-timbered houses, known as Totenberghäuschen, stand on the northern slope and served as accommodation for forest inspectors over two centuries.

The nature reserve spans 437 hectares, with 342 hectares managed as natural forest and 95 hectares designated as restricted access woodland.

The Wolfsschlucht gorge gained attention in 2003 when a female wolf passed through the area, marking a significant wildlife observation.
