The Plackweghöhe , the main summit of which has not yet borne a common name, in the North Rhine-Westphalian district of Soest and Hochsauerlandkreis is 581.5  m above sea level. NHN the highest elevation of Warstein , the Plackwald ridge and the natural spatial main unit of the North Sauerland Oberland and the Arnsberg Forest nature park . The Lörmecke tower there is a popular excursion destination.

geography

location

The Plackweghöhe is located in the northern Sauerland within the framework of its main summit around 5 km south of Warstein (district of Soest) and around 3 km north-northeast of Meschede (Hochsauerland district); Via the forest path Plackweg it is connected to the mountain pass Stimmstamm ( 541.1  m ) west of the federal road 55 , 2.85 km (as the crow flies ) . The landscape is drained to the south to the nearby Ruhr and to the north to the Möhne tributary a few kilometers away .

The highest point is only shown as a nameless survey point on commercially available maps, although it is the main elevation of a low mountain range and the other elevations each rise a little more than 20 m.

Natural allocation

According to the handbook of the natural spatial structure of Germany , the Plackweghöhe belongs to the natural spatial main unit group Süderbergland (No. 33) and in the main unit North Sauerland Oberland (334) to the subunit Plackweghöhe (Plackwald) (334.5).

About the name

The name Plackweghöhe does not refer to the summit alone, but a ridge line on the Plackweg . It is mentioned in 1969 in the Arnsberg journal after the same author had not yet used it in the Arolsen journal in 1963 . The term is not explicitly applied to the highest point, but to the entire, around 20 km long ridge line of the north Sauerland sloping hull area on the Ruhr - Möhne water divide between the Great Mountain ( 476  m ) in the west and the Great Storchschnabel (approx.  516.7  m ) in the east, on which the Plackweg runs. The ridge is here asymmetrically shifted to the south and drops steeply to the Ruhr.
