Fulda-Werra-Bergland

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Fulda-Werra-Bergland is a natural spatial main unit (357) in East Hesse Highlands (main unit group 35) in eastern and northern Hesse and to minimal amounts in the southeast, in Thuringia , located in the main right of Fulda and left of the Werra , of the Rhön from northwards, until their wedding to the Weser near Hann. Münden spreads.

By far the best known and highest mountain range / mountain is the Hohe Meißner with 753.6  m above sea level. NN in the northeast. The Kaufunger Forest in the far north, the Stölzinger Mountains in the center and the Seulingswald in the south are also known.

Geographical location and boundaries

The Fulda-Werra-Bergland lies between the Fulda north of Bad Hersfeld and the Werra south of Heringen each downstream, i.e. H. north, between the two rivers.

In addition, there is the Neuenstein-Ludwigsecker mountain range , which runs to the left of the Fulda between Bad Hersfeld and Malsfeld , about 22 km northwest and to the southeast at a distance of about 12 km it merges into the Knüll (main unit 356). This becomes part of the Knüll roughly from the Efze, which is extended around the Breitenbach tributary , and belongs to the Kirchheimer Bergland (355.4), to the Fulda-Haune-Tafelland (main unit 355), and is separated from the (other side) Geis .

To the left of the Werra, the Werrabergland (main unit 358) near Eschwege and Bad Sooden in the northeast and the Ringgau (483.4) east of Sontra as part of the Thuringian basin (main unit group 48) in the east must also be deducted .

To the south, the mountainous region borders on the Kuppenrhön (main unit 353), to the north-west of the West Hessian depression (343) at the Kassel agglomeration, which is already part of the West Hessian mountainous region (main unit group 34) .

Reinhardswald , Bramwald and other parts of the Weser-Leine-Bergland (37) connect to the north, while in the extreme southeast, south of the Ringgau, the natural area flows over into the Salzunger Werrabergland (359).
