It is located about 8.5 km (as the crow flies ) southwest of Winterberg city center between the upper reaches of Lenne (northwest) and Odeborn (southeast) at about 657.4 to 712.5 m above sea level. NN .

A little northwest of Hoheleye is the Hoheleyer Hof (approx. 725 m above sea level ) and a little south of the place on the Großer Saukopf ( 691.3 m above sea level ) there is a retirement home. West of the village lies the source of a trickle that flows south-south-west into the small Hesselbach, which drains south-east to the Odeborn. Neighboring "Höhendorf" is the northeast near the Kahler Asten lying Langewiese .

Along the north-western edge of the village, coming from the hiking car park Albrechtsplatz near the Albrechtsberg, a common section of federal highways 236 and 480 leads in the direction of Winterberg , which is part of the Hochsauerland-Höhenstraße holiday route .

history

Hoheleye was built at the beginning of the 18th century in a hostile area between Albrechtsberg and Kahler Asten . The nucleus of this smallest of the hilltop villages seems to be a farmstead that was built around 1713 and was known in the 20th century under the name "Burgers Hof". Not until 1764 was another farmstead called "Graberhof" (an inn in 1992).

In the 19th century a customs and post office was built. In 1850 this became an inn. In the course of the Sauerland / Paderborn law , the Berleburg office was dissolved on January 1, 1975 and the place Hoheleye, which at that time belonged to the Wittgenstein district , was reclassified to the city of Winterberg. From a historical and cultural point of view, Hoheleye is counted on the outskirts of the Wittgensteiner Land . It is one of the few Protestant places in the Hochsauerlandkreis.
