Geography

The densely wooded ridge of the Amtsberge is located on the boundary between the districts of Northeim and Holzminden and also on the boundary between the Leine Uplands to the east and the Weser Uplands to the west. It lies northeast of the Solling range between Stadtoldendorf in the northwest, the Homburg Forest in the north-northwest, the Elfas to the north-northeast, Dassel to the south and the ridge of Holzberg to the west, from which it is only separated by the little valley of the Teichbach stream.
Several streams rise within the Amtsberge that are tributaries of the rivers Weser and Leine. The northwestern foothills of the Amtsberge are passed by the upper reaches of the River Lenne flowing northwest. The southern end of the hills is passed by the middle reaches of the Spüligbach heading southeast. To the east are the middle reaches of the Bewer.
