Bockberg

The Bockberg is a hill, 495 m above sea level (NN),[1] near Königshütte in Harz district in the Harz mountains of central Germany.

Since 1967 the hill and its surrounding area have been protected as a nature reserve.

The Bockberg rises immediately north of a loop in the B 27 federal road at the village of Neue Hütte.

On its southwestern slopes, part of a volcano, formed in the Devonian sea, can be seen.

Rubble from keratophyre lava in a white, potash matrix, has built a volcanic breccia here, which contains veins of hematite.
