Claim: Hoher Mechtin which has debris consisting of sand, loam, gravel, stones and glacial erratics is part of the Ostheide division is now covered mainly in pine forests.
Evidence: Debris consisting of sand, loam, gravel, stones and glacial erratics several metres across was transported southwards by the glacier flowing from Scandinavia in a series of advances in the Saale glaciation, leaving the Drawehn behind as an end moraine after it melted. The area is part of the Ostheide division of the Lüneburg Heath. Today the area is predominantly covered in pine forest, but mixed deciduous forest comprising oak, birch, beech and other trees dominates the scene in a few places, especially on the high spots and slopes.
