geography
location
The Gauseköte is located in the Teutoburg Forest / Eggegebirge Nature Park . It is located in the southeast of the Teutoburg Forest, called Lippischer Wald , a few kilometers west of the interface with the Eggegebirge, which runs south, between Johannaberg in the north, a southern location of the southern Detmold district of Berlebeck , and Oesterholz in the south-southwest , a northern district of snakes .
The top of the pass is in the forest of the Berlebeck forest just under 2.5 km (as the crow flies ) west of the Upper Langenberg ( 418.8 m ) with the Lower Langenberg (approx. 410 m ) in front to the west . About 500 m north-north-west of it is the Große Gauseköterberg ( 366.7 m ) and about 1.7 km north-north-east the ruins of Falkenburg ( 372.6 m ). About 800 m northwest of the top of the pass, the Alte Postweg, which connects the districts mentioned above, runs in a north-northeast-south-southwest direction .
Rhine-Weser watershed
The Rhine-Weser watershed runs over the Gauseköte . The water of all flowing waters that arise on the south side of the pass, such as a stream that swells near Oesterholz, initially running south and then flowing into the Lippe tributary Thune ( called Strothe in the upper reaches ), ultimately flows west into the Rhine . The contrary dehydrate those streams that swell on the north side of the pass, as the north-east of the pass in Wiggen basic springing Berlebecke (in the upper reaches Wiggensbach called) on the Werre north to the Weser .
Pass road
The Gauseköte is part of the state road 937, which as a side road of the Weser Renaissance road leads from Berlebeck-Johannaberg (Detmold) southwards over a length of around 2.5 km with a maximum gradient of 18% through the Berlebeck forest to the pass. It then runs for about 3.5 km with a gradient of up to 16% to the south-south-west to Oesterholz (Schlangen), where it turns into Fürstenallee . There is a connection to the north in Detmold to the federal highway 239 and to the south in Schlangen to the federal highway 1 . At the end of January 2019, the Gauseköte was temporarily closed due to the risk of landslides. The blockage will be lifted in 2021 at the earliest.
