The Ziegenhelle in the broader sense is the natural space that the massif of the 816.1 m high Ziegenhelle in the Rothaargebirge in the area of the cities Winterberg (district Züschen ) and Hallenberg (district Hallenberg), Hochsauerlandkreis , and the city of Bad Berleburg (districts Girkhausen , Wunderthausen and Wemlighausen ), Siegen-Wittgenstein district , in North Rhine-Westphalia. It lies in a star shape around the Ziegenhelle, extends up to 12 km in an east-northeast direction, up to 7 km in a south-southeast direction and has an area of around 44 km².
location
The Ziegenhellen massif lies between Hallenberg in the southeast, Züschen in the northeast, Mollseifen in the northwest, Girkhausen in the west, Wemlighausen in the southwest and Wunderthausen in the south. Around the solid leading national road 236 Hall-Züschen upstream in the valley of Nuhne , the provincial road 721 of Zuschen to Mollseifen bach upward along the Ahre and Berkmecke , then downstream along the Odeborn about Girkhausen to Wemlighausen, finally, the circuit road 51 stream upstream of the Schwarzenau by Wunderthausen and from there the L 717 to Hallenberg.
Natural allocation
The natural area Ziegenhelle is assigned as follows:
-
(to 33 Süderbergland )
-
(to 333 Rothaar Mountains)
-
(to 333.5 Winterberger Hochland )
- 333.51 goat light
-
(to 333.5 Winterberger Hochland )
-
(to 333 Rothaar Mountains)
To the south, the natural area merges into the Wilde Struth (333.50), which also belongs to the slope of the Ziegenhelle, but the summit remains below 700 m, with the height decreasing very gradually towards the Eder . This merges to the southeast into the Elbrighäuser Wald (332.11) as part of the East Sauerland mountain range (332), the highest elevations of which are around 600 m.
To the southwest, the Odebornsenke (333.10) joins as part of the Wittgensteiner Kammer (333.1), to the northwest the Langewiese (333.53) around Langewiese , and in the southeast near Hoheleye a pass to (Kühhuder) Rothaar (333.52) with the 771.2 m high Albrechtsberg and to the northeast near Neuastenberg a to Astenberg with the 841.9 m high Kahler Asten .
To the north to east, the Züschener Nuhnekessel joins as a corridor to and part of the high side , which reaches 757.7 m in the south-west wing on the Bollerberg ; in the extreme southeast, at the Heidkopf , in the Hallenberger Hügelland (332.41) as part of the Medebacher Bucht (332.4), a landscape of the East Sauerland mountain range (332) borders directly .
Waters
The watershed of the Nuhne , which drains from the middle Eder, runs over the ridge of the Ziegenhelle from Zwistberg in the northeast via Ziegenhelle and Wallershöhe to the Hasselback in the southeast . On the northeast side, from northwest to southeast, the Flachengrund (via Berkmecke and Ahre), the Ahre , the brooks , the Langenbach and finally the Weife flow to the Nuhne.
The Elsoff rises directly on the western slope of the Hasselrück , whose catchment area is otherwise practically completely in the Wilden Struth adjoining to the south ; all other streams on the south-west side flow over the Odeborn to the Eder, mostly over the Schwarzenau , which rises on the south-west slope of the actual Ziegenhelle. In particular, the (stream from) the Swiss Grund and the Lützelbach flow into it, which frame the southern Riedel Moselkopf and Lützelkopf from the west. In the area south of the strife mountain that eventually arise Easter and its tributary adhesive , at the far western edge of the massif of Gladenbach ..
mountains
About 850 m south of the Ziegenhelle summit is its 812.1 m high second summit Wallershöhe . From these central elevations, various mountain ridges branch off in a star-shaped radius of 4 to 6 km, all of which are still part of the Ziegenhellen massif. A Vertical separation of more than 50 m exhibit only the cornerstones discord Berg (747.0 m, NW), Hackelberg (690.5 m, NO), Hundsrücken / Heidkopf (698.4 and 704.1 m, double piers, SO) and Homburg ( 721.8 m, SW), with the Zwistberg also having the highest dominance, followed by the Homburg and the Heidkopf, which is equipped with a viewing tower and, as the only mountain in the Medebacher Bay, directly faces a submontane natural area.
The main ridge on the Obereder-Mitteleder watershed leads from the Zwistberg in the northwest via Ziegenhelle and Wallershöhe to the 766.6 m high Hasselback , the third highest elevation of the massif, beyond which the western watershed of the Nuhne in the Wilden Struth and, at the same time, only 674 in Hesse , 6 m ( Lippestriesch ) and 669.1 m ( Kleiner Hoher Stein ) before finally disappearing into the flat undulating Medebacher Bay near Bromskirchen .
The following table contains the most important surveys of the goat brightness along with height above sea level, dominance and prominence ; the brightness of the background (brightening from 1 km dominance with at least 50 m prominence and from 765 m height) indicates the respective independence as a mountain:

Protected areas
Large parts of the Ziegenhellen massif are under nature protection , whereby the nature reserves are divided into the districts of Hallenberg, Züschen and Bad Berleburg.
The multi-part nature reserve Hallenberger Wald (NSG-Nr. 329410), which was founded in 2001 and is 8.76 km² in size, extends on the eastern flank of the Ziegenhelle . The two main peaks Ziegenhelle and Wallershöhe as well as Hundsücken and Heidkopf in the extreme south-east are left out, although the connecting paths between these are not in the NSG. The nature reserve Züschener Wald (NSG-Nr. 389958), which was founded in 2008 and is 3.44 km², extends on the north flank . The main ridge between Ziegenhelle and Osterkopf and the Riedel Hackelberg, Homberg and Bachekopf pointing towards Züschen are excluded. The 9.91 km² large, 2004 designated nature reserve Bergland Wittgenstein (NSG-Nr. 329702) finally occupies the west with Zwistberg, Lützelkopf, Moselkopf and Homburg and saves, in addition to the ridge area, the wonder houses mountains Herrenberg and Haiskopf in the extreme south.
The protected landscape area Hallenberger Waldlandschaft (LSG No. 345001), founded in 2004 and covering 23.21 km², includes, in addition to forests to the left of the Nuhne (natural areas Hohe Seite and Hallenberger Hügelland), all forests on the Hallenberger side that are not under nature protection. Similarly, the parts of the Züschen side that are not under nature protection belong to the LSG Winterberg and those on the Wittgenstein side belong to the LSG Bad Berleburg .
