geography
location
The almost completely forested Emser Berg is located in the Habichtswald Nature Park , in the southern part of the Hinterhabichtswälder Kuppen , between the core town of Niedenstein in the east and the Bad Emstal districts of Sand in the northwest and Merxhausen in the southwest. Its summit is located in the far east of the district of Sand - about 1.4 km southeast of Sand, 1.4 km northeast of Merxhausen, almost 2.5 km west of the Niedenstein core town and 2.1 km northwest of the Niedenstein district of Wichdorf . Part of the mountain slopes in the north, east and south belong to the Niedenstein district in the Schwalm-Eder district . The mountain Altenburg ( 450.7 m ) rises about 1.5 km to the northeast with the remains of the prehistoric Altenburg castle . The Niedensteiner Kopf ( 475 m ) with the Hessenturm observation tower rises about 3 km to the east .
The Ems flows along the northwest, west and southwest flanks of the Emser Berg and through Sand and Merxhausen. About 2.5 km south of the summit and 250 m north of the former Weißenthalsmühle , it takes up the Wiehoff approaching from the east , which previously flowed between the Emser Berg and the Niedensteiner Kopf through the Niedenstein core town and then through Wichdorf.
The state road 3220 from Sand via Merxhausen to Wichdorf runs in the northwest, west and south along the foot of the mountain.
