The Bramwald in the northwest of the
Münden Nature Park lies in South
Lower Saxony some 20 km (
as the crow flies) 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 (408 m), 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.
