The Langen and Staufenberg plate is 29.52 km² and in the Staufenberg up to 361.2 m above sea level. NHN high mountain range and natural area (No. 343.51) of the West Hessian Depression in the West Hessian mountain and depression country . It is located in the northern Hessian district of Kassel ( Germany ).
geography
location
The Langen- and Staufenbergplatte is located on average about 15 km northwest of the city of Kassel . It extends in the south-southeast-north-northwest direction between Vellmar in the southeast and Ahnatal the south, where the wooded Staufenberg ( 361.2 m ; ⊙ rises the highest elevation of the natural environment, past) Espenau , Calden and Grebestein and the likewise wooded Langenberg ( 296.7 m ; ⊙ ) up to Hofgeismar in the north and Liebenau in the northwest.
To the west the landscape falls into the belonging to Caldener area Valley of the fog Beeke , to the northwest in Liebenauer area for warm , south in Ahnataler area in the valley of the ancestor and to the east in the areas of Espenau, Calden and Grebenstein and Hofgeismar to Eat from .
Natural allocation
The ridge forms the natural area Langen- and Staufenbergplatte (343.51) in the natural spatial main unit group West Hessian mountain and sink country (no.34) and in the main unit West Hessian sink (343 ) and is the elongated eastern part of the sub-unit North Habichtswälder Vorland (343.5). In a clockwise direction it is surrounded by this natural space neighbors:
To the northeast and east of the plate lies the subunit Hofgeismarer Rötsenke (343.4). The subunit Kassel Basin (343.3), in which Kassel is located, extends south-southeast . A saddle at the outer (left) southern tip of the plate passes to the sub unit Dörnberg and terror mountains (342.3) via, whence the west location of the disk natural space West Uffelner sink (343.50) according north-northwest to the Bever plates ( Bever-Diemel Kalkberg country ; 361.02) pulls. This natural area belongs to the main unit group Upper Weserbergland (36) and in the main unit Oberwälder Land (361) to the sub-unit Brakeler Kalkgebiet (361.0).
landscape
The Langen- and Staufenbergplatte is predominantly in the south, for example on the Staufenberg ( 361.2 m ), as well as in the Caldener Tiergarten (formerly fenced-in hunting area), in some areas on its western flank (including with Hegeholz and Schenkelwald ) and in the north, among other things the Langenberg ( 296.7 m ) wooded. On its central part, west of Calden and southwest of Grebenstein, it is unforested and used for agriculture.
Watersheds and rivers
The Diemel - Fulda -Wasserscheide runs through the southern part of the Langen- and Staufenbergplatte : it stretches between the natural areas of Dörnberg and Schreckenberge and Hofgeismarer Rötsenke from the saddle between Fürstenwald and Weimar in the west over the plate with the Staufenberg to Mönchehof in the east and then to the northeast located Reinhardswald . The slab is drained to the south by short streams in the Fulda tributary Ahne .
The Warm - Esse -Wasserscheide stretches along the plate ridge from south-southeast to north-northwest . From here, short streams flow to the west into the Nebelbeeke warm tributary and further north directly into the Warm and to the east, among others, the Jungfernbach , Suderbach , Maibach and Nesselbach (viewed in a south-north direction) into the Diemel tributary Esse .

The Langen- and Staufenbergplatte consists in particular of these mountain peaks - with a height in meters (m) above mean sea level:

Of these, only the Friedrichsthal district of Grebenstein is located directly on the Langen and Staufenberg plates. The villages of Meimbressen (Calden), Schachten (Grebenstein) and Kelze (Hofgeismar) come directly to the edge of the natural area.
Transport links and hiking
The federal road 7 runs through the middle section of the Langen and Staufenberg plates between the Calden core town and the Calden district Westuffeln in a south-east-north-west direction . A few state and county roads branch off from this road and run through the natural area.
Kassel-Calden Airport is located north-northwest of the Calden core town on the B 7 on the eastern roof of the ridge, which is already part of the Hofgeismarer Rötsenke .
The Kassel-Steig runs along the southern edge of the natural area to the north of Ahnatal, Vellmar and through Espenau, roughly in a west-east direction . The Märchenlandweg runs through its southern part between the Calden core town and the Calden district of Fürstenwald , which, after passing through the Hofgeismar Rötsenke, touches the eastern edge of the natural area near the Hofgeismar district of Kelze. The Calden Eco-Path runs near the core of Calden . Between the Calden district of Westuffeln and Kelze, the European cultural long-distance hiking trail Huguenot and Waldensian trail leads in a south-west-north-east direction through the natural area.
