geography

location

The Ebersberg is located in the northern part of the Haardt , an elongated low mountain range on the eastern edge of the Middle Palatinate Forest in the Palatinate Forest Nature Park . The summit of the mountain rises about 1.3 km west-southwest of the village church of the Bad Dürkheim district of Seebach . South of the wooded Ebersberg, the Schwabenbach flows roughly in a west-east direction . To the north and northeast, the landscape slopes down past the Limburgberg mountain spur ( 260.5  m above sea level ) with the Limburg monastery ruins , into the Isenach valley . The Rudolf-Bart-Siedlung, a locality of Seebach, lies on the eastern flank of the mountain.

Parts of the Haardtrand bird sanctuary are located on the Ebersberg (VSG no. 6514-401; 147.28 km²).

Natural allocation

The Ebersberg belongs to the Palatinate Forest natural area, which is classified as a 3rd order Greater Region in the systematics of the handbook of the natural spatial structure of Germany published by Emil Meynen and Josef Schmithüsen and its subsequent publications . If one considers the internal structure of the natural area , the Ebersberg belongs to the Middle Palatinate Forest and here to the Haardt mountain range, which separates the Palatinate Forest from the Upper Rhine Plain .

In summary, the natural spatial allocation of the Ebersberg follows the following system:

  1. Greater region 1st order: Layer level land on both sides of the Upper Rhine Rift
  2. Greater region 2nd order: Palatinate-Saarland layer level land
  3. Greater region 3rd order: Palatinate Forest
  4. 4th order region (main unit): Middle Palatinate Forest
  5. 5th order region: Haardt
