Kermeter

In the southwest the Kermeter transitions into Wolfgarten and Gemünd in the direction of the upper reaches of the Rotbach.

Beech woods dominate the shaded, damp northern slopes (24%), in places with trees that are over 200 years old.

Oak woods hold sway on the drier, southern slopes (26%), interrupted by rocky outcrops (Felsheide).

At the start of the 21st century almost half the forest area still consisted of spruce trees, a consequence of reforestation measures after the Second World War.

Amongst the hills and high points of the Kermeter are the following, according to the Deutsche Grundkarte and sorted by height in metres above sea level:
