The Horst is a 553.3 u m. NHN high elevation in Vogelsberg , Hesse , Germany .
The mountain lies between Gunzenau and Nieder-Moos , two districts of Freiensteinau, 4.5 kilometers north of the core community. 1.5 kilometers west of the mountain is the 30 hectare Nieder-Mooser pond.
On the eyrie there are three radio antennas and a cemetery with a chapel, to which a paved and public road from Gunzenau leads up. The north and west slopes of the mountain are densely forested, whereas the other slopes and the approximately 500 m long summit ridge have no or sparse tree growth. The eyrie allows a view to the east as far as the Rhön . In the west, the view extends over the Ober- and Nieder-Mooser ponds to the Herchenhainer Höhe and on very clear days to the Großer Feldberg im Taunus .
