Hildesheim Forest
The Hildesheim Forest from the southwest. At the far right: the Griesberg.
The Hildesheim Forest, which attain a height of 359 m in the Griesberg, are crossed by numerous waterways, hiking trails and forest tracks, but only by one state road, the L 485, which links Hildesheim via Diekholzen to Sibbesse. In its northwestern part is the Beusterburg, whose circular ramparts are suggestive of a New Stone Age settlement. In the vicinity of the village of Betheln there is a Bronze Age burial site (Hügelgräberfeld). Further away from the village there is also a number of brine springs. At the northern end of the Hildesheim Forest is the Heyersum Saltworks (Saline Heyersum). In addition there is a transmission tower on the Griesberg and several observation towers.
A section of the Hanover–Würzburg high-speed railway runs through the Hildesheim Forest through three tunnels (see the section on ‘hills’), over bridges and on stretches of open line.
