Geographical location
The Hillekopf is located in the northern part of the Rothaargebirge at the interface between the Sauerland and Upland . Its peak rises about 800 m south of the border with Hesse in the Küstelberg district and just under 2 km north of the village of Küstelberg, a west-north-western district of Medebach .
Neighboring mountains are the Hopperkopf ( 832.3 m , notch at 785.9 m) and the Jürgensköpken ( 759.7 m , notch at 733.0 m, 0.60 km dominance ) east-southeast of the Hillekopf . About 680 m east-southeast of the Hillekopf summit is in the forest area "Glindfeld" with 803 m (notch at 785.9 m) another eight hundred meter high hilltop, which is also called Hillekopf on the map (distances as the crow flies ).
The Hillebach rises at the Hillekopf , immediately to the east of its summit is a section of the Rothaarsteig , laid out in a north-south direction , which passes the Hillequelle not far from the mountain.
Natural allocation
