Lower Saxony
New Town Hall, Hannover, Ger.
The southern portion of Lower Saxony is characterized by a highland area that includes the Weser, Deister, and Harz mountains.1
The Harz range is the most prominent of these, serving as the northernmost mountain range in Germany. It consists of an irregular series of terraced plateaus and is divided into the higher northwestern section, known as the Oberharz, and the more extensive southeastern section, the Unterharz. The range reaches its highest elevation at the Brocken, which stands at 3,747 feet (1,142 meters).23
