geography
location
The Mühlenberg lies within the western foothills of the Kaufunger Forest in the state forest of Oberkaufungen . In the northwest of the geo-nature park Frau-Holle-Land (Werratal.Meißner.Kaufunger Wald) it is located between Uschlag in the north and Dahlheim in the northeast (both to the municipality of Staufenberg , district of Göttingen) as well as Nieste in the east, Kaufungen in the south and the Niestetaler Part of the municipality Heiligenrode in the west-southwest (all three in the district of Kassel). Most of the mountain belongs to the north Hessian community of Niestetal; only part of its eastern flank, some below the summit down to the Nieste , belongs to the southern Lower Saxon community of Staufenberg. Its eastern neighbor is the Gerholdsberg, about 1.25 km away (about 355 m ; place of the former Sensenstein Castle ).
To the northeast, north and northwest past the Mühlenberg, the Fulda tributary Nieste flows through Dalheim and Uschlag, running roughly in an east-west direction . The Losse tributary Diebachsgraben rises around 1 km south-southeast of the summit .
Directly to the east of the Mühlenberg there is a corner of the Weserbergland-Kaufunger Wald conservation area in the transition area to the Gerholdsberg ( CDDA no. 325317; designated 1989; 285.018 km² in size).
Natural allocation
The Mühlenberg belongs in the natural spatial main unit group West Hessisches Bergland ( West Hessisches Berg- und Senkenland ; No. 34) and in the main unit West Hessische Senke (343) to the east of the subunit Kassel Basin (343.3).
Mountain description
The Mühlenbergkuppe and its north and west flanks are forested. The other parts of the mountain, with the exception of the small wood of the Germanic Garden of Windhausen Castle near Gut Windhausen (on the southern flank of the mountain) , are unwooded and used for agriculture. On the mountain slope in the direction of the Nieste there were iron mines in the Middle Ages , four pingen fields in which iron ore was mined. More in hill close to the southern and western flanks of the mountain, some from the Bronze Age dating barrows .
Transport links
District road 4 (Heiligenrode – Nieste) leads over the southern high elevations of the Mühlenberg in a west-east direction . About 1 km south-south-west of the hilltop and a little north of Gut Windhausen at 295 m above sea level, the K 5 coming from the south of Niederkaufungen in the Lossetal meets this - with a hikers' car park a little above it . The Hessian state road 5 runs through the northern Niestetal coming from the western part of Heiligenrode and merges into the Lower Saxony L 563, which runs through Uschlag and Dalheim.
hike
Field, forest, forest and hiking trails that lead around and on the Mühlenberg branch off from the aforementioned roads. The Eco Path Archeology Sensenstein runs around the hilltop . Crosses the west, north and east flanks of the mountain, dividing the path with a section of the Eco path , the Herkulesweg , which crosses the Märchenlandweg further east .
