geography
location
The mountain is located in the Habichtswald Nature Park northwest of Riede. Further away in the area are the Bad Emstal district of Merxhausen in the northeast and the two Naumburg districts of Elbenberg in the northwest and Altendorf in the west. The County Road 111 (same Strasse) runs in the long arc along its eastern and northern edge of vineyard according Elbenberg.
The summit of the Klauskopf ( 413.7 m ) rises about 600 m to the south-east , on which the stone observation tower Klauskopfturm has stood since 1857 and on the south- eastern slope of which the village and Riede Castle are located. The saddle between Erzeberg and Klauskopf, over which the boundary between Elbenberg and Riede runs, is only about 30 m lower than the summit of the Erzeberg, so that the latter can almost be seen as a secondary summit of the Klauskopf. Other neighboring mountains are the Hardtkopf ( 363.8 m ) around 4.5 km away near Elbenberg in the northwest and the 358.5 m high southeastern foothills, called Käsebusch, of the Kuhberg ( 403.9 m ) in the north.
Along the northern flank of the Erzeberg, between this and the southeastern foothills of the Kuhberg, flows the Stellbach coming from Elbenberg, which then flows under the federal highway 450 between Merxhausen and Riede north of the Weißenthalsmühle into the Eder tributary river Ems . A small, mostly dry stream runs to the southwest, which feeds the Elbe , which also flows to the Eder .
