Geography edit

Heights in metres above NN

The Vogler is located in the district of Holzminden between the hills of the Ith to the north, the Hils to the northeast, the Homburg Forest to the east, the Amtsberge to the southeast, the Solling to the south and the Burgberg to the south-southwest. It also lies in the triangle formed by the towns of Bevern, Bodenwerder and Eschershausen. The River Weser flows by the Vogler to the west heading north to the North Sea. To the north the Lenne, a western tributary of the Weser runs past in a northwesterly direction.

The Vogler drops steeply to the Weser through a height of 220 m. Nestling in its northern foothills is the village of Heinrichshagen, where Henry the Fowler was supposed to have trapped birds.

Geology edit

The underlying rocks of the Vogler stem from the Bunter sandstone geological period.

Places of interest edit

The places of interest, including natural and cultural monuments, in the Vogler include:

On the Ebersnacken (460.4 m) stands the Ebersnacken Tower, an observation tower, from which there is a good all-round view over the Vogler. Other such towers are the Bodo Tower (412 m) and the Königszinne (255,0 m). Also worth visiting is the monastery at Amelungsborn, which is southeast of the Vogler on the southwestern edge of the Odfelds.
