The Hardenberger Hügelland is a natural spatial unit in North Rhine-Westphalia with the order number 337 1 .12.
The hill country comprises the upper catchment area of the Deilbach and the Hardenberger Bach between Wuppertal - Dönberg and Velbert - Langenberg, east of the Velbert ridge and southeast of the Vossnacken . The Siebeneick district of Wuppertal and the Velbert districts of Neviges , Windrath , Kuhlendahl , Wallmichrath and Nordrath are also located within the natural area. The terrain is dominated by domed and flat mountain peaks, which drop from 300 m in the south to 240 m in the north.
To the north-east of Neviges there is a wide open space , called Windrather Ausraum , with limestone and alum slates . The mineral was mined in the so-called alum hole near Windrath. To the south and north of it, the rock consists of schists with embedded greywacke and quartzites . The Windrath Ausraum is farmed agriculturally and has smaller forest islands. The Deilbachtal near Langenberg and the Hardenberger Bachtal near Neviges, both with flat, moist valley floors and steep-walled, terraced slopes, have dense residential and industrial buildings.
