geography
location
The Schellhorn is located in the north of the Rothaargebirge. Directly to the west outside the Diemelsee nature park , it extends between the Brilon district of Brilon-Wald in the north, the somewhat distant Olsberg districts of Elleringhausen in the north-west and Bruchhausen in the west, all of which are in Westphalia , and Willingen in the south-east , which is also somewhat distant Hoppers in the south, which are located in neighboring North Hesse .
Natural allocation
The Schellhorn belongs in the natural spatial main unit group Süderbergland (No. 33), in the main unit Rothaargebirge (with Hochsauerland ) (333) and in the subunit Hochsauerländer Schluchtgebirge (333.8) mainly to the natural area Schellhorn and Treiswald (333.82). To the north, the landscape drops into the Habuch natural area (333.83) and to the south it leads over to the subunit Winterberger Hochland (333.5) with the Hoppernkopf ( 805.6 m ) in the Langenberg natural area (333.58) .
Surveys
The two main elevations of the Schellhorn ridge are - sorted by height in meters (m) above sea level (NHN):
- Großer Kluskopf (760.0 m), in the south
- Rehkopf (675.1 m), in the north
The ridge is separated from the Hoppernkopf by a 78 m deep notch , while that of the Hoppernkopf to the Langenberg is only 40 m deep. Regardless of this, the Hoppernkopf , which is also between Schellhornbach and Hoppecke , is often seen as part of the Schellhorn.
Waters

The ridge can be reached on forest and hiking trails , for example on the Rothaarsteig .
