Bramwald

The Bramwald is a range of hills up to 408.1 m above sea level (NN)[1] in the Weser Uplands in Lower Saxony (Germany).

It lies east of the upper, southern course of the Weser, whose western banks are dominated by the vast Reinhardswald forest in North Hesse.

Its highest hill is the Totenberg (408 m), which lies in the north of the forested region and is surrounded by a large nature reserve.

The Bramwald is crossed in an east–west direction by a section of the Frau Holle Path and in a north–south direction by the Upland to Weser Uplands Path, as well as a few, narrow roads, such as the Landesstraße 560, which links Hemeln and Reinhardshagen in the west with Niemetal-Ellershausen in the east.

The German Fairy Tale Route also runs along this road through the forest following part of the Frau-Holle-Route.
