Kamen flat wave country

As Kamen flat shaft country which is terraced valley of Seseke and its left tributaries east, southwest and northwest of Kamen , Kreis Unna , Westphalia designated. It represents the north-westerly part of the lower part of the Hellwegbörden main unit in the south of the Westphalian Bay and extends the Soest lower part to the west.

It also separates the Derner Höhe in the south west from the core ridge of the Kamen hill country in the north east. The land, which is covered with a layer of loess clay of varying thickness, is mainly used for arable farming, but also includes dense residential areas in the Ruhr area , especially in the west, where the Dortmund district of Scharnhorst is reached .
