geography
location
The Eisenberg rises in the Diemelbergland in the vicinity of the Upland in the south-west and belongs to the Diemelsee Nature Park , which is located in Westphalia and North Hesse . Its summit is in Westphalia just under 350 m northwest of the border with North Hesse with the village of Heringhausen on the other side of the border , a district of Diemelsee , and about 450 m east-southeast of the dam of the Diemelsee , which is particularly fed by the Diemel and its tributary Itter . North of the mountain below the dam on the Diemel is the village of Helminghausen , a south-western part of Marsberg ; its core city, located downstream on the Diemel, spreads out 12.5 km (as the crow flies ) northeast from the mountain top .
Natural allocation
The Eisenberg belongs to the natural spatial main unit group Süderbergland (No. 33), in the main unit Ostsauerländer Gebirgsrand (332) and in the subunit Diemelbergland (332.70) to the natural area Padberger Schweiz (332.70), with its landscape towards the southeast in the subunit Vorupländer ( Adorfer) Bucht (332.6 ) drops into the natural area Vorupländer Hügelland (332.61).

The Eisenberg has two mountain peaks: The west knoll with the mountain peak in Westphalia is 594.6 m high and the east knoll, 1060 m away and on the border with North Hesse, 536.9 m . Both are connected to each other by a 514.1 m high saddle . The side knoll St. Muffert ( ⊙ ; 524.9 m ) with a lookout point of the same name is 625 m south-southwest of the mountain peak .
Protected areas
Parts of the Hoppecke-Diemel-Bergland landscape protection area ( CDDA no. 555554573; 2001 designated; 77.9719 km² ) lie on the Westphalian area of Eisenberg, which is forested with beech and oak trees . Parts of the Upper Diemeltal nature reserve (CDDA no. 329550; 2001; 1.8681 km²) and the fauna-flora-habitat area of the Diemel and Hoppecke water system (FFH no. 4617-302; 5.8669 km²) extend at its northern foot . .
history
On Eisenberg and in its surroundings there are some old boundary stones on the former border between the Principality of Waldeck ( inscription : FW ) and the Grand Duchy of Hesse ( GH ). To the northwest, below the summit, there is an abandoned quarry in which the diabase of the Rhenish Slate Mountains was extracted as quarry stone material for the construction of the Diemelsee dam, which was built between 1912 and 1923.
Viewpoints and hiking
A little south of the summit of the Eisenberg-Nebenkuppe St. Muffert ( 524.9 m ) is the lookout point St. Muffert (approx. 500 m ; ⊙ ) with a refuge . From its cliffs there is a valley view of the Diemelsee ( 376.2 m ; with full damming); The passenger ship MS Muffert, which operates on the reservoir, is named after this view of the lake . From another vantage point, located on the north-western slope of the mountain, a little to the west below a turning loop ( ⊙ ; 493.4 m ) at the end of a branch path in the forest, you can see the Itterarm and the part of the Diemelsee near the dam, as well as the dam .

The Eisenberg summit can only be reached on hiking and forest trails. The circular hiking trail Drei-Seen-Weg ( Edersee –Diemelsee– Twistesee ) and a variant of this path around the Diemelsee runs across the summit region . The Diemelsteig hiking trail leads past the St. Muffert viewpoint and over the southern slope .
Transport links
From the state road 800 running across the Diemelsee, the L 912 branches off in Westphalia at the west end of the dam south of Helminghausen . The latter runs immediately west to south past the Eisenberg along the Diemelsee to the south, turns into the north Hessian state road 3078 and then leads to Heringhausen .
