Name origin
The name Yberg is etymologically derived from iwa , ahd for yew , and indicates a vegetation with yews. Their wood was used to make crossbows and bows .
geography
location
The Yberg rises in the Black Forest Central / North Nature Park about 4.4 km (as the crow flies ) southwest of the core city of Baden-Baden and separates it, together with the neighboring Fremersberg ( 525.1 m ) to the north, from the Rebland communities west to southwest of the Yberg Varnhalt , Steinbach and Neuweier . To the north the landscape of the Yberg falls into the valley of the Grünbach with the Fremersberg beyond it, which drains through the Sandbach and the Acher into the Rhine , to the south into that of the Sandbach tributary Steinbach with the Schartenberg on the other side ( 528, 2 m ) and to the east-southeast into the valley Im Schwarzwässerle with the Iberst ( 586.6 m ) on the other side .
Natural allocation
The Yberg belongs to the natural spatial main unit group Black Forest (No. 15), in the main unit Northern Black Forest (152) and in the subunit Oos-Murg-Heights (152.0) to the natural area Baden-Baden quartz porphyry massif (152.03). Its western flank falls into the natural area Bühler Vorberge (212.01), which belongs to the main unit group Middle Upper Rhine Lowland (21) to the main unit Ortenau-Bühler Vorberge (212).
geology
The upper part of the Yberg and the neighboring Iberst consists of volcanic rock ( quartz porphyry ). The former volcano dates from the time of the Rotliegend , which means that its lava solidified here about 299 to 251 million years ago.
The base area of the Yberg and the Iberst is even older. It originated in the Upper Carboniferous between 318 and 299 million years. The Carboniferous is also known as the hard coal age, as coal seams can be found here. Smaller coal seams were also found in the base area of the Yberg. After the discovery of the first coal seam in 1745, attempts were made to extract coal economically. However, the seams were thin and the work very strenuous. In 1848 the last coal mining attempt was shut down.
Another deposit can be found on the slopes of the Yberg. It's the loess . Loess is a very young material from the last ice ages . Since the Rhine plain was largely devoid of vegetation during an ice age , the wind was able to stir up large amounts of dust. In the foothills of the Black Forest, the dust settled again, as there was comparatively no wind here.
Yburg
On the summit region of the Yberg are the ruins of the Yburg , a castle from the 12th century. From the castle tower you have a view of the Upper Rhine Plain and the Vosges in the west and the vineyards in the southwest. To the north you can see the Fremersberg, the Hardberg and the Battert with the ruins of Hohenbaden Castle .
Protected areas
The Yberg with the Iburgwald lies in the Baden-Baden landscape protection area ( CDDA no. 319750; 1981; 81.88 km² ), the western and southern slopes of the mountain belong to the LSG Yberg near Bühl (CDDA no. 325971; 1940; 2, 41 km²).
Traffic and walking
North past the Yberg in a north-east-south-west direction from Baden-Baden to Gallenbach , a district of Varnhalt , the road 84a and south in a west-east direction from Neuweier to federal road 500, the L 84. For example on these roads starting you can hike the mountain.
