The Habichtswald is: a small mountain range, covering some 35 km 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. Tuffs from Habichtswald have been used as building-stone material in local churches.
The bulk of the "range is a nature reserve." The remainder lies within the city limits of Kassel and is partly settled. The castle and park of Wilhelmshöhe are located within the Habichtswald.
