geography
location
The Heiligenberg lies in the east of the Richelsdorf Mountains between the Gerstungener districts Neustädt (southeast) and Sallmannshausen (east-southeast) and the Herleshausen districts Unhausen (north-northwest), Breitzbach (north-northeast), Nesselröden (northeast) and Wommen (east-northeast). Its summit region and the southern slope belong to Gerstungen, mainly to the district Neustädt, and its northern part belongs to Herleshausen, mainly to the district Breitzbach.
Natural allocation
The Heiligenberg belongs to the natural spatial main unit group Osthessisches Bergland (No. 35), in the main unit Fulda-Werra-Bergland (357) and in the subunit Solztrotten- and Seulingswald (357.2) to the natural area Solztrottenwald (357.21). The landscape leads north into the natural area Nesselröder Mulde (357.22), and to the east it drops into the natural area Neustädt-Hörscheler Werratal (359.13), which in the main unit Salzunger Werrabergland (359) to the subunit Salzungen-Herleshausener Werratal (359.1) counts.
Flowing waters
The Hehrengraben flows south past the Heiligenberg and , after flowing through Neustädt, flows into the Fulda source river Werra , which runs east of the elevation . The Breitzbach , which feeds the Nesse in Nesselröden , flows through Unhausen and Breitzbach to the north . The latter flows into the Werra east-northeast of the mountain in Wommen.
Name, history, usage
The name of the mountain is in the table sheet from 1854 Der Heiligenberg (without mountain height). Kirchwaldskopf (at 379.1 m ) can be found in later maps . Modern cards are inconsistent in their naming. Both names are reminiscent of former ownership, because the forest was owned by the Neustadt parish, among others. During the GDR era, the mountain was in a restricted area; Barely 500 m from the inner-German border , there was a visual lane through the forest to prevent refugees from breaking through. The summit region and the southern slope of the mountain are forested, the northern slope, apart from its wooded high areas, is used for agriculture and the north-eastern part is used for forestry.
Traffic and walking
North to east-northeast past the Holy Hill leading Federal Highway 400 by Unhausen, Breitzbach and Nesselröden Wommen according to connection points Wommen the extending over the lower part of the eastern slope of the Holy Mountain Bundesautobahn 4 ; The Gerstungen junction is on the motorway a few kilometers south of the mountain . On the other side of the A 4 and roughly parallel to it runs in the Werra valley from Wommen through Neustädt to Gerstungen, the state road 1021, from which the district road 505 branches off to Sallmannshausen at Neustädt .
The eastern slope of the mountain shows traces of medieval sunken roads, they lead to the banks of the Werra with the westerly of Sallmannshausen Sallmannsberg homes ford and from there to Sallmannsberg houses Rennsteig , a branch path of, among others, by the Thuringian Forest runs Rennsteig .
