The Nesselberg is a ridge (up to 378.2 m above sea level. NN ) of the Calenberger highlands and, together with the little one Deister and the Osterwald a group of three adjacent mountain ranges in the northern part of the linen highlands. It is located between the Old Hagen and I Coppenbruegge in Lower Saxony, Germany.

Geography

The Nesselberg is just a bit north of Coppenbruegge, just south of the Little Deisters or north-west of the Easter Forest. It spreads from the north of the Yellow river valley, through which the national road 422 runs from Eldagsen after Coppenbruegge. Just east of this valley joins the Osterwald. On the crest of the hill nettle the boundary between the Hannover region and the district of Hamelin- Pyrmont runs.

On the saddle between the Nesselberg and Small Deister, and therefore between the wolf heads in the northeast and the Grasberg in the southwest, the old wolf beech stands (now trail parking lot ); there also arises from the Black Brook, a tributary of the Gehlen Bach. Both ridges are bordered by the urban core Springe, Springer districts Altenhagen I and Eldagsen and the community Coppenbrügger parts Brünnighausen and Dörpe.

Over the crest of the hill nettle which a portion of the approximately 16 km long and 2 m high sandstone wall of Sauparks Jump, which also extends even over a large part of the Small Deister. By Nesselberg and the neighboring small Deister runs from north to south part of the Roswithaweges, a long distance path of Nienburg / Weser to Bad Gandersheim.

Since 1954, the Small Deister and the Nesselberg form a total of approximately 2,500 hectares of nature reserve, which also houses the Saupark Jump is located.
