The Plackwald is up to 581.5 m above sea level. NHN high ridge of the Rhenish Slate Mountains in the Soest and Hochsauerland districts , North Rhine-Westphalia . Within the North Sauerland Oberland (order number 334) it forms the natural sub-unit Plackweghöhe (Plackwald) (334.5).
geography
location
The Plackwald lies in the Arnsberger Wald nature park between Meschede in the south and Warstein in the north. It extends from the northeastern urban area of Arnsberg in the west to the Brilon district of Esshoff in the east. As part of the watershed between the Ruhr in the south and its tributary Möhne in the north, it has a series of hills with the Plackweghöhe ( 581.5 m ) as the highest elevation, the name of which is synonymous with the ridge on both sides of the Plackweg . Main transport axis is approximately centered on the pass voice trunk ( 541.1 m ) the landscape intersecting Federal Straße 55 . The striking places in the Plackwald include the Meschede telecommunications tower and the Lörmecke tower, as well as the Heve , Langer Bach , Lörmecke and Wideybach streams .
Natural allocation
The Plackwald forms the sub-unit Plackweghöhe (Plackwald) (334.5) in the natural spatial main unit group Süderbergland (No. 33) and in the main unit North Sauerland Oberland (334 ). To the north are the Upper Arnsberg Forest (334.3) and Warsteiner Hügelland (334.4), in the east the Obermöhne- and Almewald (334.6), in the southwest and west the Oeventrop Ruhr Valley (334.1) and in the south the main unit Sauerland Senken (335) .
description
The Plackwald is a 500 to 550 m high flat ridge that stretches from the Großer Berg in the Arnsberg district of Oeventrop over the Warsteiner Kopf and the Nuttlarhöhe to the Brilon plateau eastwards. Geologically, the ridge consists of folded rocks from the Upper Carboniferous . In the Nuttlar Mulde , quartzitic clay and greywacke slate from the Arnsberg strata from the Namurium form the subsoil. Often, slate horizons cross out.
To the north, the Plackwald falls comparatively gently to a height of 450 m into the Breitenbruch Forest (334.32) and the Warsteiner Hügelland. To the south, the drop to the Ruhr valley , which is around 250 m lower, is rugged and sharp-edged. About the Arnsberg on the southern edge of the Upper Forest located Plackweghöhe the top of the running slope of the hull mountains to the interior Auer country sinks (335) down. As a result, the climate in the Plackwald is rougher and, with around 1,000 mm of annual rainfall, more rainy than in other areas of the North Sauerland Oberland. The May / July mean temperature is around 12 to 13 ° C. The podsolic soils are poor in bases , sandy-loamy and medium- depth . In the spring troughs they tend to form waterlogging and bog .
