Schmarloh
 |
The Schmarloh is a ridge in the
Celle district) north of the Wiehe Stream. Its highest point is the 69-metre-high Jahrnsloh Berg, 2 km southwest of Groß Oesingen. It covers an area of 654 square kilometres (253 sq mi).[1]
Originally the Schmarloh was an
Drenthe-II stage of the Ice Age about 230,000 years ago. Several ice sheets after another at an interval of about a thousand years pushed across the existing hills of loose stone and sand, repeatedly depositing material on the tundra
-like areas which were reshaped by water and wind each time.
Schmarloh is also part of the municipality of Groß Oesingen.[2]
Economy
In addition to its traditional use for agriculture and forestry, part of the Schmarloh north of
wind generators was approved.[5]
These have since been built and placed into operation.
