The Haßberge are a hill range, up to 512.2 m above sea level (NN), north of the River Main in Lower Franconia in the German state of Bavaria. The hills are in the county of Bamberg and divided by the Main valley from their sister hills, the Steigerwald. Both forested hill ranges fall steeply down to the Main. Between the Ebelsbach and Haßfurt the river cuts through the hills in a wide gap, creating an easy route between the Upper Main and the fertile Middle Main region. Haßberge Park and the modern county of Haßberge are named after the hills. * *
