Gudensberger sleeper
The Gudensberger Kuppenschwelle ( topographic map TK25 no. 4822) is a 29.72 km² natural subunit (number 343.24) west of the Eder and north of the Eder tributary Ems in northern Hesse . It is part of the Hessengau (natural area 343.2) and thus the West Hessian Basin (natural spatial main unit 343).
Geographical location
The domed sill encompasses the wider area surrounding the small town of Gudensberg in the Schwalm-Eder district and lies between the Fritzlarer Börde (343.23) in the south and the Kassel basin (343.3) in the north and northeast. Neighboring the Fritzlarer Ederflur (343.211) is in the southeast and the Langenberg (342.02) in the northwest . The Gudensberger Kuppenschwelle is often regarded as the northeastern part of the Fritzlarer Börde, as it differs from the Börde in the narrower sense only in the occurrence of a number of mostly wooded basalt knolls of volcanic origin.
It is drained by the Eder tributary Ems and several smaller Eder tributaries such as Sommerbach and Pilgerbach to the east and crossed by the federal motorway A 49 and the federal highway 254 in a generally north-south direction.
