geography
location
The Poppenberg belongs to a ridge of the Brilon Heights that runs in a west-east direction and surrounds the Brilon plateau . Its main peak is about 2 km south of the center of the city of Brilon, 0.8 km west of Poppenberg (residential area south-southeast of the city center) and 1.1 km northeast of the Gudenhagen-Petersborn district .
Less pronounced secondary peaks of the Poppenberg are a knoll located about 0.5 km to the west ( 576 m ), a 900 m southwest located knoll ( 566 m ) and the Gudenhagener Poppenberg 900 m southeast ( 564 m ). Like the Poppenberg, they belong to the Brilon heights.
On the eastern flank of the Poppenberg lies the Poppenberg nature reserve (NSG no. 389864), which was founded in 2007 and is 0.68 hectares in size.
Natural allocation
The Poppenberg is located in the natural spatial main unit group Süderbergland (No. 33) on the border of the natural area Briloner Kalkplatten (Briloner Kalkplateau) (334.70; in the north and northeast), which belongs to the subunit Briloner Land (334.7) in the main unit North Sauerland Oberland (334) , to the sub-unit Oberruhrgesenke (335.0; in the southwest), which belongs to the main unit Sauerländer Senken (335). Its landscape descends to the south and south-east in the main unit Ostsauerländer Gebirgsrand (332) and in the subunit Diemel-Bergland (332.7) in the natural area Padberger Schweiz (332.70).
Watershed and rivers
The Rhine-Weser watershed runs over the Poppenberg . On its eastern flank, the Möhne rises directly at the Poppenberg residential area , which after a short run through the Brilon spa gardens reaches the core town of Brilons, and the Hillbringse rises south of the mountain , which flows around the mountain in a wide arc to the northwest and flows into the Aa in front of the Aamühlen . The rivers mentioned drain into the Rhine via the Möhne and Ruhr . The short watercourses that arise southeast of the mountain, such as the Petersborn brook , flow over the Hängemecke , Hoppecke and Diemel into the Weser .
