location

The stipple rises in the Sauerland in the northern part of the Rothaargebirge. Its summit is in the municipality of Bestwig , 1.1 km south of the Andreasberg district , 1.3 km north of the Wasserfall district and 0.5 km east of the Dörnberg district with the Ramsbeck district on the other side . The Valme flows to the west and the Elpe to the east (both Ruhr tributaries).

Natural allocation

The stipple 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) to the natural area Ramsbecker ridge and gorges ( Ramsbecker heights ; 333.81). The landscape falls approximately to the north into the subunit Oberruhrgesenke (335.0), which is part of the main unit Sauerländer Senken (335).

Landscape and amusement park

The mountain slopes steeply to the west, north and east and is forested. Hurricane Kyrill destroyed the forest on the northern slope , so that after the damage has been repaired, large areas are bare.

The summit area and the eastern slope of the mountain are part of the Fort Fun amusement park , with a chair lift , summer toboggan run , restaurant and ski slope . In 2001, the park operator, together with E-Plus, built a 57 m high steel lattice tower on the mountain , which serves as a viewing and cell phone tower . From the open viewing platform at a height of 30 m, the panoramic view encompasses large parts of the Sauerland and, when the weather permits, extends north to the Westphalian Bay and the Teutoburg Forest .
