geography
location
The Bautenberg is located in the southern part of Rothaargebirge and Siegerland between Wilden , a district of Wilnsdorf , in the north and Gilsbach , one of Burbach's , in the south. Although it is near the Wilnsdorf district of Wilden, its high elevations are part of the Burbach municipality. The border to the municipality of Wilnsdorf runs to the north and that to the municipality of Neunkirchen to the west past the elevation, which, as its north-west peak, belongs to the Kalteiche massif ( 579.3 m ).
To the north, the landscape of the Bautenberg leads through the valley of the Heller tributary Wildebach ( Wildenbach ) with the village of Wilden to the Elkersberg ( 443.5 m ), to the east through this brook valley with the Landeskroner Weiher there to the Wildenberg ( 469.1 m ), to the southeast to the Walkersdorfer Berg ( 526 m ), to the south to the Steimel ( 489.7 m ), to the west to the Bautenberg foothills of the Schelenberg ( 421.7 m ) and to the west-northwest to the Rassberg ( 398.9 m ) with the one on the other side Salchendorf . While the Wildebach flows eastwards, the Heller tributary Volkersbach rises in the transition area to the Schelenberg, which is fed by the Bahlenbachseifen ( Bahlenbach's soap ), which rises south of the Bautenberg near the Steimel .
Natural allocation
The Wildenberg belongs to the natural spatial main unit group Süderbergland (No. 33) in the main unit Rothaargebirge (with Hochsauerland ) (333) and in the subunit Dill-Lahn-Eder source area (333.0) to the natural area Kalteiche (with Haincher Höhe) (333.00), where in the main unit Siegerland (331) and in the subunit Hellerbergland (331.3) the natural area Nördliches Hellerbergland (331.30) connects to the west, northwest to north.
Mountain height
The height of the 512.9 m high Bautenberg is sometimes only given as 511 or 510 m , but this refers to the height indication 510.8 m , which is recorded on topographic maps around 45 m south of the summit.
Mining
There is evidence that ore has been searched for on the Bautenberg since the 15th century. Numerous tunnels run through the mountain. Around 1550 several small shafts and upper tunnels were created. The larger pits Sophie or Goldener Hut and smaller ones like Arbach mainly built on brown iron stone and lead ores. The Green Hope pit was first mentioned in 1770 . The most famous mine, however, was the Bautenberg mine , which was in operation until 1942. On the ridge between Bautenberg and Neunkirchen, the little train , a former track of the mine railway, runs as a hiking and forest path.
traffic
The state road 723 , which leads south-southeast of the elevation at a maximum height of 483 m, runs over the eastern high elevations of the Bautenberg as a connecting road from Wilden to Gilsbach and beyond this road and the Wildebach valley the federal motorway 45 ( Sauerland line ). The elevation itself can be reached on forest trails and paths, for example on the aforementioned little train .
