High Pön

The Hohe Pön is a good 795  m above sea level. NHN high high mountain of the Rothaargebirge . It is located near Stryck in the Waldeck-Frankenberg district in northern Hesse , near the border with the Hochsauerland district in North Rhine-Westphalia .

Geographical location

The Hohe Pön is located in the Upland , the northeast part of the Rothaargebirge, in the Diemelsee Nature Park . Its peak rises in northern Hesse about 1.5 km south of Stryck in the district of Usseln (districts of Willingen ) and 750 m (as the crow flies ) northeast of the Westphalian border, which corresponds to the interface between Upland and Sauerland ; across the border is Titmaringhausen (district of Medebach ) on its southeast flank . The neighbors of the wooded mountain include Mühlenkopf (approx.  815  m ) in the northwest, Auf'm Knoll ( 739.3  m ) in the east-southeast, Krutenberg ( 785  m ) in the south and Hegekopf ( 842.9  m ) in the west.

Natural allocation

The Hohe Pön belongs to the natural spatial main unit group Süderbergland (No. 33) in the main unit Rothaargebirge (with Hochsauerland ) (333) and in the subunit Winterberger Hochland (333.5) to the natural area Langenberg (333.58). The landscape falls from northeast to north into the Inneres Upland (333.90) natural area .

Streams and watershed

The Diemel-Eder / Fulda / Weser watershed runs over the Hohen Pön . The Itter , which flows north-east to the west of the mountain and rises a few kilometers further south-west at the nearby Hopperkopf , takes up the Aarbach, which swells east of the mountain, and drains through the Diemel into the Weser . In contrast, the water of the small Wamecke , which rises on its south-eastern flank, first runs in a south-easterly direction and then makes a southern detour through the Wilde Aa ( called Aar from the middle course ), Orke , Eder and Fulda to the Weser.
