Ith Nine Pieces Of Native-American Music, And Pascal Dusapin
The Ith () is a ridge in Germany's Central Uplands which is up to 439 m high. It lies about 40 km southwest of Hanover and, at 22 kilometres, is the longest line of crags in North Germany. Geography Location The Ith is immediately northwest of the Hils ridge in the Leine Uplands. It runs in a northwest-southeast direction from Coppenbrügge in the north to Holzen in the south. The highest elevation on this forested knife-edge ridge is the ''Lauensteiner Kopf'' at which has an observation tower, the ''Ithturm'', and is located in the northern half of the Ith, the so-called ''Krüllbrink'', between the villages of Bisperode and Lauenstein. The streams on the Ith flow west via the Ilse, Remte and Lenne into the Weser or east via the Saale into the Leine. The Ith is crossed by two roads: in the north by the L 425 between Haus Harderode and Lauenstein over the ''Lauenstein Pass'', and in the south by the B 240 between Lüerdissen and Capellenhagen ...

It is located roughly northwest of Einbeck between Holzen (bei Eschershausen), Holzen to the west and Delligsen to the east. The highest elevation in the Hils is the 480.4 m high Bloße Zelle, the second highest the nearby ''Großer Sohl'' (472 m), on which a monument to the poet, Wilhelm Raabe, has been erected next to the Wilhelm Raabe Tower named after him.

Rock Formation
A rock formation is an isolated, scenic, or spectacular surface rock outcrop. Rock formations are usually the result of weathering and erosion sculpting the existing rock. The term ''rock formation'' can also refer to specific sedimentary strata or other rock unit in stratigraphic and petrologic studies. A rock structure can be created in any rock type or combination: * Igneous rocks are created when molten rock cools and solidifies, with or without crystallisation. They may be either plutonic bodies or volcanic extrusive. Again, erosive forces sculpt their current forms. * Metamorphic rocks are created by rocks that have been transformed into another kind of rock, usually by some combination of heat, pressure, and chemical alteration. * Sedimentary rocks are created by a variety of processes but usually involving deposition, grain by grain, layer by layer, in water or, in the case of terrestrial sediments, on land through the action of wind or sometimes moving ice.
