geography
location
The Hemberg extends in the southern part of the Kellerwald-Edersee Nature Park in the area of the communities Jesberg (northeast) and Gilserberg (southwest) around the mountain peaks Hundskopf ( 470.6 m ) and "Hemberg" ( 360.4 m ). It is bounded by the Gilsa valleys in the west and north and its tributary Treisbach in the south-east and east. North of the wooded ridge is Densberg (to Jesberg), at its northeast end Jesberg, to the east the Hofgut Richerode (to Jesberg), south of Sebbeterode and southwest of Schönau (both to Gilserberg).
The section of federal road 3 runs southeast through the Treisbach valley from Jesberg through Sebbeterode and Richerode to Gilserberg . Beyond the Gilsa valley is the “Hohe Kellerwald ”, which includes the Jeust mountains (approx. 585 m ) in the west and Wüstegarten ( 675.3 m ) in the north.
Natural allocation
The Hemberg ridge belongs to the natural spatial main unit group West Hessisches Bergland (No. 34) and in the main unit Oberhessische Schwelle (346) to the subunit Gilserberger Heights (346.0), which connects the Kellerwald in north-south direction with the Vogelsberg . The landscape falls to the north into the Löwensteiner Grund sub-unit (341.7); to the west it leads into the natural area Jeust and Keller (344.00), which in the main unit Kellerwald (344) belongs to the subunit Hoher Kellerwald (344.0).
Mountains and elevations
In the northern part of the Hemberg ridge is the "Schmitteberg" (approx. 380 m ), in the northeast part of the "Hemberg" ( 360.4 m ), to the east of it is the "Forsthaus Hemberg", and in the far northeast is the "Dörner Berg" ( 327 m ). Around the center of the ridge rises the Hundskopf , which at 470.6 m is its highest mountain; north of it is the "Helenenquelle". In its western part near Schönau is the Schloßberg ( 419 m ) with the castle ruins of Schönstein , above the Gilsa valley or south of Schönstein (to Gilserberg) .
Traffic and walking
From east to south-east past the Hemberg, Bundesstraße 3 runs through Richerode and Sebbeterode and passes the entire ridge . From this road branches off in Jesberg, the district road 59, which runs through Densberg to Schönstein . From there, the K 3425 leads through Schönau to a junction with the B 3 near Sebbeterode. Numerous forest and hiking trails lead over the ridge, including a 6 km long section of the Kellerwaldsteig , which runs between Densberg and Schönau on the northern slope of the Hundskopf passes Helenenquelle and between Schönau and Schönstein leads directly past the castle ruins of Schönstein.
Mining
The fact that mining used to be carried out in the Hemberg ridge can still be seen in the “Silberstollen” near Densberg.
