geography
location
The Wurzelbrink rises in the nature and geopark TERRA.vita . Its summit is 2.2 km south of the core town of Lübbecke within the Lübbecke district. To the south is the large community of Hüllhorst with the district Ahlsen-Reineberg in the east and Oberbauerschaft in the south-southwest. The source of the Ronceva lies on the saddle to the north-eastern neighbor Heidbrink ( 319.6 m ), the highest mountain in the Wiehengebirge . West of the Wurzelbrink is the origin of the Westerbach on the transition area to the southwest located Breitenbrink ( 287 m ) from several short source brooks (see also section Quelle am Wurzelbrink ). To the south-southeast is the Kniebrink ( 315 m ).
Parts of the Wiehengebirge-Wesergebirge landscape protection area extend on the Heidbrink ( CDDA no. 555560799; designated 1971; 49.1049 km² in size).
Natural allocation
The Wurzelbrink belongs in the natural spatial main unit group Lower Weserbergland (No. 53) and in the main unit Eastern Wiehengebirge (532) to the subunit Lübbecker Egge (532.2). To the south, its landscape falls into the natural area of Quernheimer Hügelland (531.01), which in the main unit Ravensberger Mulde (531) belongs to the sub-unit of Quernheimer Hügel- und Bergland (531.0).
Luebbeck watch tower
On the summit of the Wurzelbrink stands the watch tower , built in 1857 , which serves as a lookout tower. From there the view falls over the Mensinger Gorge to the northeast to the Heidbrink. Further in this direction is the large peat bog , about 7 km away between the villages of Gehlenbeck / Nettelstedt and the Mittelland Canal . In the north-northeast, about 21 km away, Stemweder Berg ( 181.4 m ) can be seen. To the east-southeast, the Wiehengebirge continues in a curve to Porta Westfalica 21 km away, which can be seen on a clear day. To the south, the view falls into the hill country of the Ravensberger Mulde, beyond that lies the Teutoburg Forest .
Source at the Wurzelbrink
On the lower part of the western slope of the mountain, in the Westerbach catchment area, a spring rises directly on a hiking trail, which was elaborately framed. No binding and official name has yet been established for the source. The spring gives 10 liters of water per minute in spring. Towards summer, however, depending on the weather, the productivity decreases more or less significantly.
