The Agger-Sülz-plateaus are, according to the Handbook of the Natural Region Divisions of Germany a natural Spatial unit with the order number 338.4 in Bergisch Land , part of the Rhenish Massif .
They cover large parts of the Rheinisch-Bergisches Kreis and significantly smaller parts of the Oberbergischer Kreis . They border on the north by the Südbergische plateau (order number 338.2), in the west the Lower Rhine Valley (55), on the south by the Wahlscheid-Seelscheider Lößgebiet (338.6) and the east by the Mucher plateau (338.5) and the Brölhochfläche (338.7).
The plateaus lie at a height of 200 to 250 m and, apart from the deeply cut valleys of the Agger and Sülz, are poorly structured with only minor differences in relief . As a single elevation , the Lüderich protrudes from the plateau as a hardened ridge . Forest areas dominate where weathered loam and smaller loess islands do not favor intensive agricultural use. In the natural area there are abundant lead and zinc deposits that have been mined since the 15th century.
