Together with the Vorberge and the Sackwald the Sieben Berge belong to the geological formation of the Sackmulde.They are famous as a result of the fairy tale, Snow White.GeographyThe Sieben Berge ridge is located in the east of the Leine Uplands, a northern part of the Lower Saxon Hills. It lies between Gronau on the Leine to the north, Sibbesse to the northeast and Alfeld to the south.The Sieben Berge are surrounded by the hills of the Hildesheim Forest to the northeast, the Sauberge to the east-northeast, the Vorberge to the east and the Sackwald to the southeast. To the west runs the valley of the Leine, behind which rises the Ith ridge. Topographically it transitions to the Vorberge almost seamlessly. Within and on the edge of the Sieben Berge rise several brooks whose waters flow, sooner or later, into the Leine.
