Habichtswald

The Habichtswald is a small mountain range, covering some 35 km2 and rising to a height of 615 m, immediately west of the city of Kassel in northern Hesse in Germany.

It is part of a central European volcanic arc.

[1] Tuffs from Habichtswald have been used as building-stone material in local churches.

The remainder lies within the city limits of Kassel and is partly settled.

The castle and park of Wilhelmshöhe are located within the Habichtswald.
