The Burgberg, which belongs to the Solling-Vogler Nature Park, is located in the district of Holzminden in the Weser Uplands between the hill ranges of the Vogler to the north, the Homburgwald to the northeast, and the Solling to the south.A section of the B 64 federal road runs along the southern part of the Burgberg, linking Holzminden with Negenborn.As followers and relatives of the Imperial House of Hohenstaufen, the family expanded their own property in the Weser Uplands into a small state dominion.The grazing of animals led to the creation of many areas of semi-dry grassland on which a specialised flora developed.These grasslands, with just a few sparse trees and juniper bushes, became the favourite habitats for the Lady's slipper orchid, hence the field's name, as well as the fringed gentian, meadow clary and wild marjoram.
