geography

location

The Hühnerfeldberg is located in the south of the Göttingen district and the Münden Nature Park and in the north of the Kaufunger Forest . At its high altitude, the summit was built at around 380  m in the city limits of Hann. Münden piled up. It is located around 5 km south of the city center and around 2 km (as the crow flies ) north-northeast of Sichelnstein , an eastern part of the municipality of Staufenberg . The summit is a maximum of 40 m high and almost 500 m long in north-south direction.

On the chicken Feldberg are parts of the protected landscape Weserbergland Kaufunger Forest ( CDDA -No 325317;. 1989; 285.02  km² ).

Natural allocation

The Hühnerfeldberg belongs to the natural spatial main unit group Osthessisches Bergland (No. 35), in the main unit Fulda-Werra-Bergland (357) and in the subunit Kaufunger Wald and Söhre (357.7) to the natural area Kaufunger Wald-Hochfläche (Vorderer Kaufunger Wald) (357.71 ).

history

The artificial Aufschüttungskuppe of chicken Feldbergs originated between 1988 and 1991 by large parts of the soil and rock overburden, which as part of the construction of the ICE - Rail Line Hanover-Würzburg in the construction of Mündener tunnel was incurred. This runs about 2.5 km (as the crow flies) northwest of the mountain in a southwest-northeast direction under the mountain landscape of the Kaufunger Forest. The summit is still unforested, but partly overgrown with bushes and shrubs.

Possibility of viewing

While the heavily forested mountains in front of the Hühnerfeldberg to the east (e.g. Großer and Kleiner Steinberg ) are higher than itself and therefore block the view to the east, the view is particularly clear in the southwest, west and northwest direction:

So you can see - in each case on the other side of the federal motorway 7 (visible in the north-northeast) - for example the Langenberge , the Hohen Habichtswald (with Hercules and Wilhelmshöhe Castle ), the Hohen Dörnberg , the Großer Bärenberg , the Häusensberg with the people's observatory Rothwesten and the Gahrenberg in the Reinhardswald .

Traffic and walking

About 350 m northwest past the Hühnerfeldberg leads between the Kassel -Nord and Hann. Münden / Lutterberg about in the southwest-northeast direction the federal highway 7 . The spoil dump can be reached via the district road  222 beginning at the last-mentioned junction and via a side road that branches off from this before Sichelnstein in the east-northeast direction, which leads past the Hühnerfeld through the Kaufunger Forest. Over of the branch road at the northern end of the chicken box branching carbon road where a is hikers park is located in, leads, inter alia, for small Steinberg and Naturfreundehaus Steinberg at Great Steinberg and, in the opposite direction driving the Fuhrmann stone (see below ). From there, a sharp bend in the coal road leads to the hikers' car park at the Rinderstall (see below) - near the Hühnerfeldberg.

The Sichelnsteiner Trift forest path runs a little to the northwest below the Hühnerfeldberg at an altitude of 375 to 397  m and leads to the northeast to the cattle barn . From this road southwest of the summit branches of a shelter another way to tip off the downhill at their North northeast flank as the path to the sickle Steiner drift colliding Gehegeweg towards Rinderstall leads; the latter shares the route with the Märchenlandweg . Not far to the south, past the hilltop, the Lutterberger Lehmweg forest path (also known as the Große Trift ) is laid out, on which you can walk in a west-east direction to the Hühnerfeld high moor . There are two picnic areas with wooden benches and tables on the Hühnerfeldberg .
