The Ardeyhöhe is a natural spatial unit with the order number 337 1 .50 and, in contrast to the southern Ardey walls (order number 337 1 .51), comprises the northern part of the Ardey Mountains between southern Witten and the northern part of Herdecke (with the district of Ende in the open Ender Ausraummulde) and the Schwerter north to Aplerbeck . The heights by a wavy back height divided, the geologically on the flözführenden carbon based.
The natural area includes the Hohenstein , the catchment area of the Borbach , snow , the Bittermark , the Niederhofer Holz , the Schwerter Wald and the Aplerbecker Mark . To the north , the Rhenish Slate Mountains , the northern edge of which is the Ardey Mountains, form the Hellwegbörden (542) with the natural area Oberer Hellweg (542.2). South of it the Südardeywände fall steeply into the Hagen Ruhr Valley (337 2 .10) in Hagen valleys boiler (337 2 from .1). In the east, the Ardey heights merge into the Schwerter Lößterrassen (542.311) and, at a height of 200 m, into the hairline covered by layers of chalk . The soils are predominantly moderately developed, base-poor brown earths on stony, loamy-sandy ground. Towards the height of the hair and in the lower flanks, they go over to loess floors .
