Dransfeld

Among the towns of Lower Saxony, Dransfeld stands out for its setting below Hoher Hagen, a 508-metre extinct volcanic hill in the Dransfeld municipal forest. The town lies west of Göttingen amid the wooded uplands and farmed fields of southern Lower Saxony. At the summit, the Gauß Tower recalls Carl Friedrich Gauß, who used Hoher Hagen as a point in his Hanoverian geodetic survey. Dransfeld is also associated with the former Dransfelder Rampe, the steep railway section that once linked Göttingen and Hann. Münden.
