Vogler (hill range)
Introduction VoglerVogler: view from DölmeThe '''Vogler''' is a range of hills, up to 460.4 m high, in the Weser Uplands in southern Lower Saxony (Germany).Together with the Solling, the Vogler forms the Solling-Vogler Nature Park which lies a couple of kilometres further south.
Geography NNThe 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 The underlying rocks of the Vogler stem from the Bunter sandstone geological period.
