Other places in the natural area are the Möhnesee districts of Günne and Brüningsen , which, like Niederense, were founded on the lower loess loam-covered terraces above the wide meadow. The valley floor is about 180 m above sea level. NN and is about 70 m deep sunk gently into the Upper Carboniferous clay and greywacke slate of the Hagen strata .
