The Dreiskopf (also called Treiskopf ) near Schwalefeld is 779.8  m above sea level. NHN high elevation of the Rothaargebirge on the border of the Hessian district Waldeck-Frankenberg to the North Rhine-Westphalian Hochsauerlandkreis ( Germany ).

Geographical location

The Dreiskopf is located in the northeast part of the Rothaargebirge on the seam line of Hochsauerland in the Westphalian Hochsauerlandkreis and Upland in the north Hessian district of Waldeck-Frankenberg. In the Diemelsee nature park on both sides of the border, it represents the northern elevation of the Dreis mountain range , the southern of which is the Hohe Eimberg . Its summit lies on the state border 3.5 km north of Willingen , 2.4 km north-northwest of the Schwalefeld district and 3 km (as the crow flies ) southeast of the Brilon district of Brilon-Wald ; the mountain belongs to the Willinger and Brilon area.

The Dreiskopf, located in the Brilon Forest , is passed in the west by the Hoppecke, which flows in a south-north direction, and in the east by the Itter , which runs in the same direction, both of which are tributaries of the Diemel . The Jückenhohl and the Butterdelle arise as short source streams of the Bremecke a little to the northwest and northeast of the summit .

On the Westphalian side of the Dreiskopf are parts of the Hoppecke - Diemel - Bergland nature reserve ( CDDA no. 555554573; designated 2001; 77.9064  km² in size).

Natural allocation

The Dreiskopf belongs in the natural spatial main unit group Süderbergland (No. 33), in the main unit Rothaargebirge (with Hochsauerland ) (333) and in the subunit Hochsauerländer Schluchtgebirge (333.8) to the natural area Schellhorn and Treiswald (333.82). The landscape drops to the northwest into the Habuch (333.83) natural area .

Mountain height

The height of the three-headed head was stated on the Brilon measuring table sheet as 781 m at the latest in 1900, which was changed to 781.0 m at the latest in 1925 - as in many mountains simply ". 0" was added without further measurements. This value was also recorded in official map services until at least 2013, but no longer in the meantime (2020). The more up-to-date (and finer) German basemap from 2011 in comparison to the measuring table sheets indicates 779.8  m .

is often only given as 780  m , which, however, refers to a trigonometric point a few meters south of its summit at a height of 779.8  m .
