geography

location

The gray grove is located in the south of the Rothaar Mountains and the Sauerland-Rothaar Mountains Nature Park on the Ederkopf-Lahnkopf ridge . The summit of the elevation belonging to the districts of Walpersdorf and Nenkersdorf , two districts of Netphen , is about 2.7 km east-northeast of Walpersdorf and 1.4 km north of the Nenkersdorf hamlet of Lahnhof and 1.7 km south-southwest of Großenbach and 2.3 km west-southwest of the Volkholz hamlet Welschengeheu, both of which belong to Bad Laasphe . The north-northeast neighbor of the Grauhain is the Jägerhain ( 650.7  m ) on the other side of the Ilm spring and the Lahnkopf ( 624.9  m ) with the Lahn spring to the south .

Natural allocation

The gray grove belongs on the one hand to the natural spatial main unit group Süderbergland (No. 33), in the main unit Rothaargebirge (with Hochsauerland ) (333) and in the subunit Dill-Lahn-Eder source area (333.0) to the natural area Ederkopf-Lahnkopf-Ridge (333.01) in the east and on the other hand in the main unit Siegerland (331) to the sub-unit Siegerland Rothaar-Vorhöhen (331.2) in the west.

Running waters and the Lahn-Sieg watershed

The Lahn - Sieg water divide runs over the Grauhain . About 490 m north of the Grauhaingipfel (south-south-east knoll), the Ilm rises in the transition area to the Jägerhain as a tributary of the Lahn, which flows into the Rhine . The source of the Langenbach lies on the western flank of the mountain , and the Butzbach rises on the southwest slope as a tributary of the Sindernbach (Sinnernbach, Sinnersbach) which rises on the southern slope ; their water also reaches the Rhine through the Sieg. The Lahnquelle ( Lahntopf ) is located on the Lahnkopf and the Siegquelle on the Jägerhain .

Protected areas

The Auerhahnwald nature reserve is located on the eastern flank of the Grauhain ( CDDA no. 81326; designated 1934; 14.46  hectares in size). Parts of the Netphen landscape protection area are located on the elevation (CDDA no. 555558489; 1985; 117.4529  km² ). Parts of the fauna-flora-habitat area Rothaarkamm and Wiesentäler (FFH No. 5015-301; 34.46 km²) also extend to the northern and eastern high elevations of the mountain .

Traffic and walking

The iron road of the Rothaargebirge leads over the eastern highlands of the Grauhain near the summit from the nearby Großenbach (Jägerhain) in the north over the Grauhain and west past the Lahnkopf to the Lahnquelle in Lahnhof as part of the state road  722 . Near the source of the Ilm , it runs at an altitude of 622.7 m , and then to the east of the south-south-east crest , it reaches  a height of around 633  m . Only parallel to the iron road and then, just to the west from the road that leads over the saddle between the two peaks of the gray grove of Rothaarsteig , which in mountain near connects the moneyline, Ilm and Lahnquelle together and, some to the northwest away from the mountain, the Eder source happens .
