geography
location
The Erzeberg is located in the Habichtswald Nature Park , in the southern part of the Hinterhabichtswälder Kuppen , between the Bad Emstal districts of Sand in the south and Balhorn in the northwest.
A foothill of the mountain ends about 900 m southeast of its summit in the small basalt cone of the Lauseküppel ( 375.7 m ). A section of the Habichtswaldsteig , the hiking trail from Zierenberg in Habichtswald to Hemfurth-Edersee at the Edertalsperre , with the Erzeberg hikers' car park, runs over the approximately 350 m high saddle between the main summit and Lauseküppel .
In a slightly wider area, the mountains Remmenhausener Kopf ( 427.6 m ) rise in the northeast, Falkenstein ( 461.9 m ) with the Falkenstein castle ruins in the east, Altenburg ( 450.7 m ) in the southeast, Emser Berg ( 446.5 m) ) in the south-south-east (all counting among the Hinterhabichtswälder peaks), Kuhberg ( 403.9 m ) in the south-south-west and Wartberg ( 430.8 m ) in the south-west (both part of the Ostwaldecker peripheral depressions ).
The Fischbach , which rises on the northern flank of the Erzeberg, flows around it in the north and west and then flows in sand into the Eder tributary river Ems .
The section from Sand to Balhorn of the Kassel – Naumburg railway line , on which the Hessencourrier has been operating a museum railway since 1992 , touches the foot of the mountain in the west in the Fischbach valley.
The federal highway 450 from Fritzlar in the south to Wolfhagen in the north runs along its western flank.
Natural allocation
The Erzeberg belongs in the natural spatial main unit group West Hessian mountain and sink country (No. 34) and in the main unit Habichtswälder Bergland (342) to the sub-unit Hinterhabichtswälder Kuppen (342.2).
