 The unpopulated Heber is crossed by hiking trails that enable visitors to explore the densely wooded landscape.The ridge may be accessed from various "Landesstraßen" and "Kreisstraßen", many of them winding, that branch off the 64, 243 and 248 federal roads and from the A 7 motorway and circumnavigate the forest region linking, for example, Lamspringe, Seesen and Bad Gandersheim with one another.The ridge measures roughly 10 km long by around 1 to 2 km wide and is covered by beech and spruce forests.
