Hippeln is a hilly ridge, part of the Hohnekamm (a larger ridge).
Above, on the north-west slope to the Holtemme valley, near to the Hippeln ridge and directly close to the granite are some quartz rocks in the forest.
Here can be found chalcedony as nice botryoidal aggregates and in the quartz rock very large negative crystals (moulds) of a unknown mineral (calcite?) with the edge length up to 10 cm (!) and more.
Peculiar is the finely granulated structure (quartzite-like) of the quartz. In that quartz are rarely visible traces of chalcopyrite.
About 1980 ample material was present, in 2010 only scarcely.
