geography
location
The Rabenstein rises in the northeast of the Kellerwald within and on the eastern edge of both the Kellerwald-Edersee Nature Park and the even more protected Kellerwald-Edersee National Park . Its summit is 1 km southwest of Affoldern , 1.8 km west-southwest of Mehlen , 2.8 km west-northwest of Giflitz , 1.8 km northwest of its residential area Am Kalkrain and 2.2 km northeast of Kleinern ; they all belong to the community of Edertal . It is located 234.9 m above the water level of the Affolderner See and 245.3 m above that of the Eder directly below the Affolderner barrage. Mountain neighbors are the Kumpeskopf (approx. 400 m ) in the south-west and the Wolfskaute ( 300.1 m ) in the east-south-east .
Natural allocation
The steeply rising and densely forested Rabenstein belongs in the natural spatial main unit group West Hessisches Bergland (No. 34) and in the main unit Kellerwald (344) to the subunit Wildunger Bergland (344.2), of which it is the north-easternmost mountain. Its northern slope falls into the Rabensteinpforte , in which the Eder flows from the Ederseetrog subunit (344.4) to the east into the Wegaer Ederaue (341.51) natural area, which runs past the mountain to the north , and in the main unit Ostwaldecker Randsenken (341) to the Wildunger subunit Sink (341.5) counts. To the west, the landscape of the mountain leads north past the Kumpeskopf into the subunit Große Hardt (344.3). To the east it falls over the Wolfskaute into the Wildehügelland (341.52) natural area belonging to the Wildunger Depression.

Parts of the fauna-flora-habitat area Kellerwald (FFH no. 4819-301; 58.2261 km² ) and the bird sanctuary (VSG) Kellerwald (VSG no. 4920-401; 263.9949 km²) are located on the Rabenstein .
