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',Whittow, John (1984). Dictionary of Physical Geography. London: Penguin, 1984. . hence the division of this list. By this definition, it can be seen that all the mountains in Lower Saxony occur in the Harz.
Highest points in Lower Saxony's regions The following table lists the highest points in the various landscapes (hill ranges or regions) of Lower Saxony.
In the "Landscape" column, major hill ranges are shown in bold. Clicking "List" in the rows of the "List" column links to other hills or mountains in that landscape – some of which are outside Lower Saxony. The table is arranged by height, but may be sorted by other criteria by clicking the symbol of the desired column.
