geography
location
The Alte Grimme is located in the northeast part of the Rothaar Mountains in the Sauerland-Rothaar Mountains Nature Park . Its summit rises about 900 m (as the crow flies ) southeast of the village church of the Winterberg district of Elkeringhausen, through which the Orke tributary flows.
Neighboring mountains or elevations are Rösberg ( 785.7 m ; northeast), Reetsberg ( 792.2 m ; east-northeast), Giebel ( 675.2 m ; east), Roth ( 624.6 m ; south-southeast), Steimel ( 573.4 m ; south) and castle ( 617 m ; southwest), and one of the mountains on the other side of Elkeringhausen is the Ruhrkopf ( 695.7 m ; northwest); here Roth and Steimel are offshoots of the Old Grimme .
The Orke tributary Deutmecke rises south-east of the Alte Grimme near its foothills Roth . Other short streams, which are direct tributaries of the Orcs or at least belong to their catchment area , arise around the mountain.
Natural allocation
The Alte Grimme belongs in the natural spatial main unit group Süderbergland (No. 33) in the main unit Rothaargebirge (with Hochsauerland ) (333) to the subunit Hohe Seite (333.7). The landscape leads to the north-west into the natural area Harfeld (333.56).
Mountain height and summit
The height of the 754.9 m high Alte Grimme is often only given as around 750 or 751 m , but this refers to a trigonometric point that is about 60 m northeast of the mountain summit at 750.7 m ; Topographic maps on the summit region provide additional height information: 753.5 m in the northeast and 753 m in the southwest.
There is a Bonifatius cross on the mountain top and a few meters away is the Grimme-Kreuz-Hütte as a refuge . On the summit region of the otherwise wooded mountain there is a narrow wild meadow .

Parts of the nature reserve (NSG) Glindfeld Forest Reserve (LP Winterberg) ( CDDA no. 389938; designated 2008; 2.1 km² in size) lie on its north and north-east flank, while parts of the NSG Forest Reserve Glindfeld (LP Medebach) (CDDA ) lie on the eastern flank No. 319281; 2002; 21.53 km²). The NSG Butterfeld (CDDA no. 389693; 2008; 5 ha) is located on the transition area to the southern foothills of Roth , and the NSG Alte Grimme (CDDA no Hornbeam forest. No forestry was possible in this protected area and on the south-eastern flank of the mountain , which is why the natural forest was preserved; today such use is prohibited by law there. To the west of the NSG Alte Grimme is the NSG Ronsfeld (CDDA no. 389879; 2008; 9 ha). North-west of the mountain, directly above Elkeringhausen, is the south-west part of the NSG grassland complex upper Orke (CDDA No. 389754; 2008; 45 ha).

Ore was mined there until 1914 . This happened without any significant success, which is why the approximately 30 m long tunnel was named Zeche Elend . The tunnel mouth hole is a protected landscape component (LB).
