NameEdit
The Aschentalshalbe was named after the Aschental ("Aschen valley"), a southern branch of the Tiefenbeekstal ("Tiefenbeek valley"), through which the Tiefenbeek flows.
LocationEdit
The Aschentalshalbe lies in the Upper Harz within the Harz Nature Park about 2 km southeast of Sieber, a village northeast of Herzberg am Harz. It rises between the Gropenbornskopf to the north, the Koboltstaler Köpfe to the northeast with their outlier, the Gödeckenkopf, to the east, the Schadenbeeksköpfe to the southeast, the Übelsberg to the south, the Großer Knollen to the south-southwest, the Pagelsburg to the southwest, the Adlersberg to the west and the Breitentalskopf to the northwest.
WatershedEdit
The watershed between the Sieber to the north and west and the Oder to the east and south runs over the Aschentalshalbe. Whilst the Tiefenbeek that rises north of the mountain flows northwest into the Sieber, the Grade Lutter that rises on its southern uplands is the right headstream of the Lutter that flows southwards into the Oder.
Summits and survey pointsEdit
The Aschentalshalbe has several summits:
WalkingEdit
Harz Club trail no. 15 G runs over the Aschentalshalbe from which several footpaths lead to the neighbouring summits. There is a refuge hut with the Schadenbeeksköpfe checkpoint of the Harzer Wandernadel hiking network near the eastern summit of the Aschentalshalbe. The hut is around 1.25 km east-northeast of the mountain and about 1 km north of the northwestern summit of the nearby Schadenbeeksköpfe.
