The Dammersfeld ridge is a mountain range of the Hohe Rhön , which begins at the distance between Bischofsheim - Gersfeld and extends in a south-westerly direction to Riedenberg - Werberg - Maria Ehrenberg (inclusive). A large part of this area is now a restricted military area, the Wildflecken military training area . The highest point is the Dammersfeldkuppe , the second highest mountain in the Rhön . The Hessian-Bavarian border runs on the ridge of the mountain range.
Natural allocation
The name Dammersfeldrücke was defined as a natural area in 1968 within the framework of the natural spatial structure 1: 200,000 (sheet 140 Schweinfurt) and assigned as follows:
-
(to 35 East Hessian mountains )
-
(to 354 Hohe Rhön )
-
(to 354.0 Southern Hochrhön )
- 354.00 Dammersfeld ridge
-
(to 354.0 Southern Hochrhön )
-
(to 354 Hohe Rhön )
Demarcation
In the west, natural areas border the Kuppenrhön . In the northwest the Westliche Kuppenrhön extends roughly from Mosbach - Rengersfeld - Rommers - Dalherda (all to Gersfeld ) - Eichsenhof (near Motten ). The Brückenauer Kuppenrhön joins there. This extends southwest. The border is formed by the desert areas and places Neuglashütten - Werberg - Rothenrain - Oberbach .
In the east and north these are mostly natural areas of the Hohe Rhön . The rivers Sinn and Brend form the border to the other natural areas of the southern Hochrhön . To Wildflecken these are the Black Mountains , to Frankenheim near Bischofsheim the Kreuzberg Group .
From Bischofsheim the Brend leaves the Rhön and enters the red sandstone of the Schönau plateau , which, as part of the southern Rhön and the greater region (3rd order) Odenwald, Spessart and southern Rhön, is already included in the south-west German stepland (2nd order).
In the north, finally, landscapes of the Hohe Rhön follow again. In the north-northeast lies the eastern slope of the Langen Rhön , in the north the Wasserkuppenrhön . Both only separate the Dammersfeld ridge from the Lange Rhön by a narrow corridor .
geology
In addition to the Dammersfeld ridge, the southern Hochrhön (see # natural space allocation ) also includes the Kreuzberg group and the Black Mountains . All three mountain ranges have an occasionally interrupted basalt shield and thus differ somewhat from the Langen Rhön and, to a lesser extent, the Wasserkuppenrhön , although they are clearly different from the individual peaks of the Kuppenrhön (see map on the right).
