Osenberge

The Osenberge is a dune region up to 23 m above sea level (NN)[1] high in the district of Oldenburg, Lower Saxony (Germany).

The rolling dunes of the Osenberge are located in the northwest of the Wildeshausen Geest Nature Park, on average about 14 km (as the crow flies) south of Oldenburg, directly south of Sandkrug and immediately northwest of Sandhatten, both of which lie within the municipality of Hatten.

To the west the Osenberge are passed by a section of the River Hunte in a south–north direction; to the northwest lies Wardenburg.

Its two highest peaks, both 23 m above NN high, are the Kistenberg south of Sandkrug and the Gierenberg northwest of Sandhatten.

The sand-rich landscape of the Osenberge was formed by the glaciers of the last ice age (Weichselian glaciation) through glacial bursts and outwash.
