Ebschloh

Ebschloh is a mountain in the Rothaargebirge region of North Rhine-Westphalia that rises to about 687 meters. Its slopes are covered with dense beech and pine forests, while open meadows spread across the lower elevations.

The mountain forms part of the Rhine-Weser watershed and has served as a notable point in this geographic region. Several streams originate from its slopes and shape the water systems of the surrounding area.

The mountain stands within two protected landscape areas: Bad Laasphe and Rothaargebirge, contributing to the preservation of local flora and fauna species.

A hiking parking area at about 611 meters elevation provides access to forest paths leading toward the summit and surrounding region. The federal road B62 runs to the northwest and can serve as an orientation point.

The summit houses a military radar station for airspace monitoring that shapes the area. A shooting range lies about 400 meters to the northeast within a military restricted zone.
