Despite its name (literal translation: 'large bareness' or 'large opening'), the summit is forested.

Geographical location

The thickly forested hill is located about 7 km (4 mi) (as the crow flies) southwest of Dassel between the villages of Hellental to the north and Silberborn to the south. It rises on the southeastern flank of the Helle Rift Valley (Hellentaler Graben), through which the River Helle flows. On the far, northwestern, side of this graben is the Großer Ahrensberg, the second highest hill in the Solling range.

Summit area

The L 549 country road runs just past the unassuming summit of the Große Blöße through dense woods. The road runs from Dassel via Silberborn and Neuhaus to Boffzen.
