Bramwald


The Bramwald is a range of hills up to in the Weser Uplands in Lower Saxony. It is a unique, natural, wild, hill and forest landscape. This is particularly so in the north around the Totenberg.

Geography

The Bramwald in the northwest of the Münden Nature Park lies in South Lower Saxony some 20 km west of Göttingen and 5 km north of the town of Hann. Münden. It lies east of the upper, southern course of the Weser, whose western banks are dominated by the vast Reinhardswald forest in North Hesse. North of the Bramwald are the Kiffing hills, which lie south of the Schwülme valley and north of the Bramwald’s north-northwestern foothills.
The long ridge of the Bramwald is part of the state forest of Bramwald and is bordered in the north by the state forest of Bad Karlshafen and in the south by the Hann. Münden state forest. Its highest hill is the Totenberg, 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.
