geography
location
The Auenberg rises in the Kellerwald-Edersee Nature Park . Its summit is 3 km south-east of Hundsdorf , 1.7 km north-north-east of Armsfeld , 2 km north-west of Berg Freiheit and 3.2 km south-west of Odershausen , which includes the summit; they are all districts of Bad Wildungen . 3 km south of Fischbach is a hamlet of Haina .
The Urff flows west of the mountain - first south-southeast and then eastwards - towards the Schwalm . The Kohlbach rises on the southern slope and flows into the Urff. The source of the Dörnbach is on the northern slope and that of the Kaltebornbach on the northern slope of the transition area to the eastern Herleberg ( 560.4 m ), both of which flow approximately to the northeast towards the Wilde .
Parts of the Kellerwald bird sanctuary lie on the mountain (VSG no. 4920-401; 263.9949 km² ).
Natural allocation
The Auenberg belongs to the natural spatial main unit group West Hessisches Bergland (No. 34) and in the main unit Kellerwald (344) to the subunit Mittelkellerwald (344.1). The landscape leads north into the Wildunger Bergland subunit (344.2).
Geology and fauna
The predominant rock type of the Auenberg is clay slate , with occasionally interspersed silica slate and iron gravel slate.
The mountain is completely forested, especially with montane toothroot beech forest, as it occurs particularly in the high areas of the Kellerwald and the nearby Hochsauerland . The mountain forest is particularly pronounced in the natural monument Eisenkieselklippen Auenberg .
Jägersburg
The Jägersburg natural monument is located about 1.8 km north-north-west of the Auenberg in the transition area to the Nickelskopf ( 492.1 m ) between Armsfeld and Odershausen . It stands on the site of the former palace gardens , built around 1718 and demolished between 1857 and 1862 from the Jägersburg hunting lodge . Prince Friedrich Anton Ulrich von Waldeck-Pyrmont had the small castle built because the high game population here was ideal for hunting; In 1857, Prince Georg Viktor sold the now very dilapidated facility for demolition, which was completed in 1862. A refuge has stood here since 2006 (approx. 425 m ).
Beacon tower of the Reichsflugsicherung
On the Auenberg is the concrete base of an iron beacon tower built in the 1930s for the Reichsflugsicherung , which was demolished in the mid-1950s.
Traffic and walking
The federal road 253 runs north past the Auenberg and leads from Hundsdorf towards Odershausen and then on towards Bad Wildungen. District road 43 branches off from this road in Hundsdorf and leads from there in the Urff valley through Armsfeld to the hamlet of Fischbach; there it meets the state road 3296 coming from Haddenberg and leading to Berg Freiheit.
The Kellerwaldsteig runs past the Jägersburg refuge north-northwest of the mountain and further south in the Urff valley over the western slope of the mountain, which is close to the foot .
