The Reinsberge between Plaue and Ilmenau are within the scope of the Heydar mountain belonging neck cap to 605.4 m above sea level. NHN high, around 11.5 km long and around 35 km² large, low mountain range in the Ilm district in Thuringia .
By far the most famous and, at 604.1 m, the second highest elevation of the Reinsberge is the Reinsburg , on which there is a castle ruin.
Geographical location
The Reinsberge stretch from Martinroda 4 km northwest of Ilmenau to Arnstadt , where they reach the edge of the Thuringian basin . They are bounded in the south, near Martinroda, by the valley of a Reichenbach tributary, and step west, from south-south-west to north-north-east and each followed by the estuary, right up to the river lowlands of the Reichenbach via Neusiß , the Zahmer Gera to Plaue and finally the Gera via Dosdorf and Siegelbach to Arnstadt, where when they enter the southern core city area, the ridge drops off relatively steeply to the north.
On the east side, from the north of Ilmenau over the Heyda dam to Marlishausen , the Wipfra passes, which, however, mostly keeps a little distance from the actual ridge and only flows into the Gera a good 8 km north of the northern flank of the ridge. The eastern edge locations Heyda and Schmerfeld , however, are of secondary streams, and further north, the left tributary flanked Gomlitz of Reinfeld by Kettmannshausen in about the range of hills from here, the southeast direction of the Eichenberg-Gotha-Saalfeld fault zone following, streamers like the Willinger Mountain in Oberwillingen as far as the Wipfra directly in front of the Ilm and in the “ far foothills” Singener Berg ( 582.6 m ) even pulls over it.
From the latter mountains, the ridge tapers almost linearly to the northwest via Dannheim to Arnstadt.

Geology and vegetation
The Reinsberge were formed from rocks from the Triassic formation . They mainly consist of shell limestone. Over the millennia, the weather has sometimes formed bizarre rocks that resemble those in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains . One result of these rock formations is a karst spring on the western slope of the Reinsberge, the Spring von Plaue .
Due to the steeply sloping slopes and deeply cut valleys such as the Kleinbreitenbacher Kessel and the Ziegenried and the different microclimates associated with them, a very diverse vegetation has developed here . While the plateau areas mainly consist of limestone beech forests as well as oak and pine dry forests, there are also locations of many sub-Mediterranean plant species on the south-western slopes .

- ↑ a b The Willinger Berg was calculated from the manual for the red sandstone unit Paulinzellaer Vorland , but from TLUG Jena to the Ilm-Saale- and Ohrdrufer plate . Geologically, he is clearly on shell limestone .
- ↑ a b The Singener Berg is often attributed to the Ilm-Saale-Platte , as it is to the right of the Ilm. However, it is located southwest of the Eichenberg – Gotha – Saalfeld fault zone ; In addition, its shell limestone is almost 360 ° surrounded by the red sandstone of the Paulinzella foothills and separated from the actual Ilm-Saale plate by a depression .
