dbo:abstract
  • Der Hohe Mechtin bei Zernien im niedersächsischen Landkreis Lüchow-Dannenberg bildet mit einer Höhe von 142 m ü. NHN die höchste Erhebung im Wendland und ist zugleich eine markante Geländehöhe für das gesamte Norddeutsche Tiefland. Er liegt ca. 2 km östlich von Gülden und stellt in etwa den Mittelpunkt des Drawehn-Höhenzuges dar, der auch als Osthannoversche Kies- oder Endmoräne bezeichnet wird. Naturräumlich gehört der Bereich als Einheit Ostheide zur Lüneburger Heide. (de)

It lies roughly at the centre point of the Drawehn ridge, which is also described as the gravel or end moraine. (Osthannoversche Kies- or Endmoräne). The area is part of the Ostheide division of the Lüneburg Heath. Debris consisting of sand, loam, gravel, stones and glacial erratics several metres across was transported southwards by the glacier flowing from Scandinavia in a series of advances in the Saale glaciation, leaving the Drawehn behind as an end moraine after it melted. Today the area is predominantly covered in pine forest, but mixed deciduous forest comprising oak, birch, beech and other trees dominates the scene in a few places, especially on the high spots and slopes. On the summit of the Hoher Mechtin is a wooden observation tower, rebuilt in 2015. * View to the north-east * Wooded slopes * View to the south * Former observation tower (2011) * Glacier-deposited rock in the forest * New tower (2015) (en)
