List of mountains and hills of Lower Saxony

Wurmberg, highest mountain in Lower Saxony; View from the Brocken Railway line

This List of mountains and hills in Lower Saxony shows a selection of high or well-known mountains and hills in the German state of Lower Saxony (in order of height). Although there is no universally agreed definition of a 'mountain', summits at 2.000 feet (610 metres) or higher may generally be referred to as mountains; those below 2.000 feet as 'hills',[1] hence the division of this list. By this definition, it can be seen that all the mountains in Lower Saxony occur in the Harz.
