Yeah, it seems that you were right on the fact that we are getting both confused.
So, let's try to clean up my mistakes: The forested hills to the west quickly become the forested Berlenda mountains, while on the east you have gentle rolling , grass covered hills and agriculture fields. Etheryl's farm is 700 mt south of you, iirc. (well, even if I don't recall correctly, let's keep to the new statement, it doesn't matter that much).
The ridge behind Drachenfell runs from south to the north, and is one of the many natural elements that distinguish the transition from forest-covered hills to forest-covered mountains and later high, and unaccessible mountains.
I will post a general map of Hethon tomorrow as a general reference, but I need my notes because there are some fine details there and I don't want to screw things up.
EDIT:
The hill of the wizardess was the the very edge of the forest 30* up from drachenfell. The forest itself is named "Green gates", by the locals, and there's a dirt road connecting the village with the nearest city. There are no signposts, as almost never a foreigner comes here (and thus, the wizards are a HUGE exception).
