geography

location

The Hühnerberg forms an elongated ridge on which the border between the communities of Glashütten and Schmitten runs. The mountain has three peaks, of which the middle one is marked in the official maps as the actual chicken mountain. The northern secondary peak Moosheck is 900 m away and has a height of 609 m. The southern secondary peak, 300 m away, is curiously higher than the main peak and extends at this height to about 300 m in length, but there is neither a defined peak nor an altitude in the maps. By interpolating the contour lines, a height of about 655 m can be determined.

The Hühnerberg is part of the ridge that forms the watershed between the Weil in the east and the Emsbach in the west, whose river systems both drain north to the Lahn . The ridge leads south over the Weilsberg to the Kleiner Feldberg and north to the Windhain . The Altstraße known as Hünerstraße runs over the ridge .
