Gemeinde Wedemark

About Gemeinde Wedemark

The municipality of Wedemark is located in the heart of Europe. In the North German state of Lower Saxony, it is only about 25 kilometers from the state capital Hanover, and thus belongs to the Hanover region. The Wedemark begins in the south, shortly before the village of Schlage-Ickhorst, where a ground swell forms the southern edge of a large geest island. Its highest elevation is found at height 92 in Brelinger Berg, a thrust moraine, formed by the inland ice of the Saale Ice Age. Geographically, the lowlands of the Wietze and Leine rivers, as well as the former glacial river valley of the Aller and the Bissendorfer Moor in the south, form its natural boundaries. The special charm of Wedemark comes from its beautiful landscape: large moor and forest areas, extensive fields, small lakes and the area around Brelinger Berg leave nothing to be desired for hikers and nature lovers.
