Watershed, source of the Lahn and flowing waters
The neighboring mountains Lahnkopf and Stiegelburg lie on the watershed between Lahn and Sieg . The water of an approximately 800 m long brook, which rises a little north of the Lahnkopf and flows past the Rehbachswiese , reaches the Rhine through the Lahn . Opposite this flows that of the Werthenbach (also called Lützelbach ), which rises on the Stiegelburg south flank, through the Sieg into the Rhine.
Almost 500 m south-southwest of the Lahn head summit and about 430 m northeast from that of the neighboring mountain Stiegelburg where the hamlet Lahnhof is, is the Lahn source as the origin of Lahn. At the former forester's house Lahnhof (now a hotel and restaurant) it flows from the Lahntopf spring pond between trees (approx. 603 m ).
The larger neighboring springs of the Lahn include the Siegquelle , which is located around 3 km further north, and the Ederquelle , which is around 5 km north-northwest on the Ederkopf . The small source of the Lahn tributary Ilm is located at the Grauhain .
Protected areas
The Lahnkopf lies in the landscape protection area of the community of Netphen ( CDDA no. 321048; designated 1987; 117.6 km² in size). The fauna-flora-habitat area Rothaarkamm and Wiesentäler (FFH no. 5015-301; 34.46 km²) extends east of the summit region .
