geography
location
The Langenberg is located in the north of the Bergstrasse-Odenwald Nature Park . It rises between the Darmstadt district of Eberstadt in the north-northwest, the Mühltal district of Nieder-Beerbach in the east, Ober-Beerbach in the southeast and Malchen in the west, two districts of the Seeheim-Jugenheim southwest of the mountain .
The northern part of the Langenberg falls to the east into the valley of the Beerbach with the village of Nieder-Beerbach (approx. 223 m ), the boundary of which includes the high elevations of the Langenberg, and the southern part also falls in this direction to the Beerbach, that of Ober -Beerbach (approx. 300 m ) flows towards it . The White Mountain ( 330.4 m ) in the transition area to the Beerbach creates a connection to the ridge, which leads south-southeast to the Felsberg ( 514 m ) six kilometers away . The southern part drops to the southeast and east to the Elsbach , a tributary of the Zehntbach ( Landbach ) . In the south the Langenberg runs out over the Galgenberg ( 374.8 m ) and the Karlshöhe ( 257.3 m ); According to some considerations, the latter is no longer counted as part of the Langenberg.
Mountain heights and crests
The Langenberg has three peaks which exceed the 400 m height line : The north peak is the Ilbes-Berg ( 419.7 m ), the landscape of which leads north to the Schloßberg (approx. 370 m ) with Frankenstein Castle . About 500 m south of the summit of the Ilbes mountain, the uppermost labeled 430 m contour line of the central dome forms an approximately 1.6 ha large oval in which the summit of the Langenberg is located, which has not been given an exact height in topographical maps ; A wooden refuge stands on this hilltop. About 650 m south of it is the unnamed south crest , which is 421.6 m high.
