geography
location
The circular wall rises in the western Hintertaunus in the Nassau nature park . Its summit is 2 km southwest of Obertiefenbach and 0.75 km from its hamlet Hof Spriestersbach , 2.75 km northeast of Oberfischbach , 2.25 km northwest of Rettert . The elevation is located in the eastern part of the Einrich in the state forest Katzenelnbogen . The Weißler Höhe ( 456.2 m ) rises about 2.5 km northeast of the summit near the Niedertiefenbach district of Hof Bleidenbach .
The Hasenbach tributary Grundbach rises to the south and west of the mountain .
Natural allocation
The circular wall belongs to the natural spatial main unit group Taunus (No. 30), in the main unit Westlicher Hintertaunus (304) and in the subunit Katzenelnbogen plateau (304.9) to the natural area Central Katzenelnbogen plateau (304.92). To the northwest and west, the landscape falls into the natural area of Lower Dörsbach-Tiefenbach area (304.91).
Worth seeing
About 0.75 km northeast of the summit of the ring wall is the Wildweiberhöhle, which is a designated natural monument, on the upper reaches of the Grundbach near the source . Its rock formation is a folded quartzistic sandstone / Taunus quartzite layer from the Lower Devonian .
Ringwall curtain wall
Close to the summit is the ring wall . It is located about 2.5 kilometers west of Oberfischbach and 0.7 kilometers east of Spriestersbach. The remains are only faintly visible in the area and stand out as a stony earth step with a maximum height of 1.0 meters. As with the nearby Weißler Höhe ring wall, it can be assumed that the wall system was used as a quarry and thus fell victim to road construction, among other things. The rampart itself was located here on the mountain peak, which drops very steeply in the north and moderately steep on the other mountain flanks.
