Süllberg (Calenberg Land)
The Süllberg is a ridge, up to , in the Calenberg Land near Springe in Hanover Region in the German state of Lower Saxony. Location The Süllberg and its foothills, the Vörier Berg in the north, and the Wolfsberg in the northeast, lies a few kilometres east of the Deister in Germany's Central Uplands. It rises around 14 kilometres south-southwest of the city of Hanover on the territory of Springe and the municipality of Wennigsen, whose boundary runs over the triple-summit hill. A number of villages lie on the slopes of the ridge or at it feet. These are the Springe villages of Bennigsen to the south-southeast and Lüdersen to the east as well as the villages of Holtensen to the north-northwest and Bredenbeck to the west where the hills transition to the Deister. The Bundesstraße 217 federal road runs about one kilometre west of the Süllberg from north to south. Geology The hill was formed during the Jurassic period. Walking There are various hiking ...

Topographical Map
In modern mapping, a topographic map or topographic sheet is a type of map characterized by large- scale detail and quantitative representation of relief features, usually using contour lines (connecting points of equal elevation), but historically using a variety of methods. Traditional definitions require a topographic map to show both natural and artificial features. A topographic survey is typically based upon a systematic observation and published as a map series, made up of two or more map sheets that combine to form the whole map. A topographic map series uses a common specification that includes the range of cartographic symbols employed, as well as a standard geodetic framework that defines the map projection, coordinate system, ellipsoid and geodetic datum. Official topographic maps also adopt a national grid referencing system. Natural Resources Canada provides this description of topographic maps: Other authors define topographic maps by contrasting them with anothe ...

Triple-summit
A double summit, double peak, twin summit, or twin peak refers to a mountain or hill that has two summit A summit is a point on a surface that is higher in elevation than all points immediately adjacent to it. The topography, topographic terms acme, apex, peak (mountain peak), and zenith are synonymous. The term (mountain top) is generally used ...s, separated by a col or saddle (topography), saddle. One well-known double summit is Austria’s highest mountain, the Großglockner, where the main summit of the Großglockner is separated from that of the Kleinglockner by the Glocknerscharte col in the area of a geological fault. Other double summits have resulted from folding (geology), geological folding. For example, on Mont Withrow in British Columbia, resistant sandstones form the limbs of the double summit, whilst the softer rock in the core of the fold was eroded.{{cite web , url=http://gsc.nrcan.gc.ca/natmap/cf/intro_e.php , title=Mt.
