geography
Geographical location
The Eggegebirge takes place in Lower Saxony Bergland as part of the Upper Weserbergland from the southeast end of the Teutoburg Forest in Horn-Bad Meinberg in the north to the Valley of the far south-western Rothaargebirge springing Diemel in Scherfede in the south and to the north end of the Sauerland . It is located around 15 km east of the city of Paderborn .
The interface to the Teutoburg Forest, which runs to the northwest, is located directly north-northwest of the Lippe Velmerstot ( 441.4 m above sea level ) at the Silbermühle ( 249.1 m ) or the Silberbach , which flows from Veldrom north-northeast to Leopoldstal . To the northwest of the valley lies the southeast flank of the Knieberg ( 365.1 m ), which, along with the Buchenberg (approx. 385 m ) to the south of it, but still west of the Silberbachtal, is one of the southeastern mountains of the northwest-facing Teutoburg Forest. From this near point, the Egge Mountains stretches southwards, including the Lippische ( 441.4 m above sea level ) and also the Prussian Velmerstot (approx. 464 m ), the Hausheide ( 441.4 m ; between Altenbeken in the northwest and Bad Driburg in the southeast) and the Bierbaums Nagel ( 431.4 m ) to the Hellberg ( 343.1 m ) near Scherfede , which is at the beginning of the Diemel.
Together with the southeast part of the Teutoburg Forest, the Eggegebirge forms the elongated and 2711 km² large Teutoburg Forest / Eggegebirge Nature Park, also known earlier as the Eggegebirge Nature Park and the southern Teutoburg Forest .
The foothills of the Eggegebirge that beyond the Harrow main ridge are partly accompanying longitudinal valleys and valley, bordered to the northwest by the Senne , on the east by the Oberwälder country , in the southeast on the Warburg Borde , south to the valley of the Diemel , in To the southwest to the Warburg Forest with the Sintfeld beyond it and to the west to the Paderborn plateau with Paderborn .
Rhine-Weser watershed
The main ridge of the Eggegebirge is part of the Rhine-Weser watershed . While the water of most of the streams that arise on the east side of the ridge flows into the Weser via Emmer and Nethe , almost all of the streams that flow from the west side of the ridge drain into the Rhine via the Lippe .
