The Hohe Heide is the name given to the ridge of the Lüneburg Heath, which consists mainly of terminal moraines and passes the centre of the large landscape in a northwest-southeast direction. The main natural unit is located, from northwest to southeast, in the southwest of the Hanseatic city of Hamburg and in the Lower Saxony districts of Harburg, Soltau-Fallingbostel, Lüneburg, Uelzen, Celle and Gifhorn.
The Hohe Heide includes, from northwest to southeast, in particular the Harburg Mountains, which are up to 155 m above sea level, the Wilseder Mountains 169 m high on the Wilseder Berg, the Garlstorfer Mountains 145 m high on the Ahrberg, the Süsing and the plateau of the Lüß, which reaches 136 m on the Wierener Mountains, which penetrate into the Uelzen Basin in the form of a peninsula. These are terminal moraines of the Warta stage of the Saale Ice Age, which is also referred to locally as the Seeve Stage. The Schneverdinger terminal moraine of the somewhat older Rehburg Stadium, which branches off to the south between northeast of Schneverdingen and southwest of Bispingen, is already counted as part of the Südheide. However, there are divisions that include the higher northern part of the latter as part of the Hohe Heide.
