geography
location
The belt is located in the southern part of the Rothaargebirge in the Sauerland-Rothaargebirge Nature Park . Its summit rises in the Siegen-Wittgenstein district with the Hilchenbachs community area around 70 m south of the border with the Olpe district with the Kirchhundems community area and lies between Zinse (to Erndtebrück ) in the southeast, Heinsberg (to Kirchhundem) in the northwest and Oberndorf (to Hilchenbach) in the southwest.
Natural allocation
The belt belongs to the natural spatial main unit group Süderbergland (No. 33), in the main unit Rothaargebirge (with Hochsauerland ) (333) and in the subunit Westrothaarhöhen (333.4) to the natural area Westliche (Rüsper) Rothaar (333.41), whereby the natural areas Brachthäuser Hohe Waldberge (333.40) in the west and Auer Ederbergland (333.42) in the east.
Mountain height and summit
The height of the belt is generally given as around 678 m , which refers to two elevations on topographical maps in the summit region and 55 m apart, each with a height of 677.7 m . While the western indication of it is entered as a trigonometric point , the eastern indication corresponds to the mountain summit, where a sign on a tree can be read: belt and 678 m . Another trigonometric point is recorded at 675.8 m about 110 m south of both values . Around 60 m northwest of both indications there is a forest path branch at an altitude of 677.2 m , and just 40 m south there is a measuring station .
Rhine-Weser watershed and flowing waters
The Rhine-Weser watershed runs over the belt . While the water of the springing on the northern flank Heinsberger Bach (Krenkelsbach) with that of its north-west of the mountain springing inflow well Siepen by the Hundem , Lenne and Ruhr in the Rhine flows, the water flowing Zinse by the Röspe in the Eder and that of Elber villages Bach directly into the Eder and then through the Fulda to the Weser .
Protected areas
To the east of the Riemengipfel lies the north end of the western arm of the Zinser Bachtal nature reserve ( CDDA no. 329735; designated 1990; 92 hectares) and to the west is the north end of the NSG Elberndorfer Bachtal (CDDA no. 162912; 1996; 110 ha). The two-part fauna-flora-habitat area Elberndorfer and Upper Zinser Bachtal (FFH No. 4915-301; 116 ha) also extends there . The landscape protection area Kreis Olpe (LSG no. 345041; 1988; 262.87 km²) lies on the north-western areas of the mountain and the LSG Rothaargebirge (CDDA no. 555550027; 299.42 km²) on the south-eastern parts .
Dreiherrnstein and Landwehr
About 440 m north-east of the belt on its summit is wooded side tip Dreiherrnstein ( 673.9 m ; ⊙ ), which lies on the border of the circles Siegen-Wittgenstein and Olpe, a Dreiherrnstein . The borders of the Electoral Cologne Duchy of Westphalia , the County of Nassau and the County of Wittgenstein met at this boundary stone . It bears the inscriptions: Dreiherrnstein and 673 m . There is a refuge with tables and benches on the Rothaarsteig that leads past there.
An average of around 750 m northwest of the Riemengipfel there are still remnants of a medieval Landwehr , which consisted of ramparts, ditches and hedges as well as a few passageways ("blows"; from " Schlagbaum "), and another historical boundary stone.
Traffic and walking
The state road 713, which connects Heinsberg with Oberndorf, passes about 1.6 km (as the crow flies ) west of the belt. For example, the Oberndorfer Höhe hiking car park with the Oberndorfer Schlag cultural monument ( 597.8 m ) is located on it. From there you have to hike around 2.3 km to the Riemen on the Rothaarsteig , which leads eastwards past the summit region in a north-south direction. From this hiking trail a path branches off to the summit in the forest.
