geography

location

The Burghasunger Berg is located in the Habichtswald Nature Park about 16 km (as the crow flies ) west of the city center of Kassel . On its flank that slopes east towards the Diemel tributary Warmth, the village of Burghasungen extends up to around 450  m . The summit plateau and the north, east and south flanks of the mountain belong to the district of Zierenberg, the wooded west flank to that of Wolfhagen 7 km to the west , whose Wenigenhasungen district is 2.25 km west-northwest of the mountain.

Natural allocation

The Burghasunger Berg belongs in the natural spatial main unit group West Hessian mountain and sink country (No. 34) and in the main unit Habichtswälder Bergland (342) to the Hinterhabichtswälder Kuppen (342.2). This subunit continues to the north to the Großer Bärenberg . On the eastern flank of the mountain runs roughly along the federal motorway 44, the border to the natural area Zierenberger Grund (342.11), which, with the warmth flowing there, belongs to the subunit Habichtswälder Basin (342.1). In the south, the Hinterhabichtswälder peaks continue over the Hundsberg to the Wattenberg . The landscape falls to the southwest to the west into the Istha plain (341.34) with the upper course of the Erpe near the source and to the northwest into the Altenhasunger Graben (341.33) with Erpe flowing further there; both natural areas belong to the subunit Wolfhager Hügelland (341.3).

Flowing waters

The mountain is passed by the Erpe river to the east and the Twiste tributary to the southwest . Both are fed by streams that come from the slopes of the mountain, and both ultimately flow to the Diemel, which runs approximately 18 km north in a west-east direction.

Protected areas

The plateau of the Burghasunger Berg and the mostly steep and rocky mountain slopes close to its core zone have been designated as a 9-hectare nature reserve Burghasunger Berg ( CDDA no. 162652) since 1986 . The later founded Fauna-Flora-Habitat- Area Burghasunger Berg (FFH-Nr. 4621-302) is roughly congruent with this area .

Earlier were on the mountain parts of the resolution in March 2008 Nature Preserve Nature Park Habichtswald (CDDA No. 329167;. 1968), does not match the Habichtswald Nature Park should be confused and about the areas of all localities and located in this natural park their peripheral areas smaller than the Park was.

history

In the summer of 1071, Duke Otto von Northeim occupied Hasunger Berg in his feud against Emperor Heinrich IV, entrenched on the nearby Hohen Dörnberg .

Hasungen Monastery once stood on the mountain , a Benedictine monastery founded in 1080/1081 AD , of which only a few stone piles and the foundation walls of the monastery tower have survived. To the north-west of the tower is a small natural pond in which holy Heimerad († 1019) is said to have bathed. Heimerod had moved to the mountain and looked after the Michael chapel there.

The Hasungen Monastery Museum was located as a branch of the “Regional Museum Wolfhager Land” in the Burghasungen village community center and in 2012 moved into its own museum building.

Bergbühne Burghasungen

On the western flank of the mountain, beneath high cliffs, is the Bergbühne Burghasungen open-air stage , the rows of which were built from the ruins of the former Hasungen monastery.

Possibility of viewing

Far away from the Waldecker Wald ( Weidelsberg , 10.5 km southwest, max. 492.3  m ), the Kellerwald ( desert garden , 37 km south-southwest, max. 675.3  m ) and the Rothaar Mountains ( Langenberg , 50 km west, max. 843.2  m ).

Transport links / hiking

The federal motorway 44 runs along the eastern flank of the Burghasunger Berg between the junctions Breuna in the northwest and Zierenberg in the southeast . From the Zierenberg exit, around 500 m south-east of Burghasungen on federal road 251 , you can get to the mountain through Burghasungen - leaving the B 251 shortly after the junction. While you can hike around the mountain on forest paths as well as on the streets and paths of the village, branch paths , such as the donkey path starting at the open-air stage and the cliff path , lead partly steeply up to the summit plateau.
