The Kamener Hügelland is a flat undulating hilly landscape in the north of the districts of Unna and Soest and in the south of the independent city of Hamm in Westphalia . It also includes the separately standing Derner Höhe in the north of Dortmund .

The core hill country between Bergkamen and Welver reaches almost 100  m in several places and thus remains only minimally behind the Derner Höhe. It is divided into the Bergkamen Heights in the west and the Braamer Heights in the east, with the dividing line running near the railway line ( Unna -) Bönen -Hamm. The natural elevations are dominated by heaps, especially the Großes Holz heap ( 148.1  m ) in the northwest of the Bergkamen Heights. To the north of the eastern Braamer Heights, there are also the Sundern and Kissinger Heights .

Natural structure

The Kamen hill country is structured as follows:

Surrounding natural spaces

The following neighboring natural areas, listed clockwise, enclose the core ridge with the Bergkamen heights in the west and the Braamer heights in the east:

The middle Lippetal belongs to the main unit Kernmünsterland , all other neighboring landscapes also belong to the Hellwegbörden.

Rivers

The core ridge is flanked in the south and south-west by the Seseke , which flows towards the Lippe in west to north-west directions . The latter, together with the Datteln-Hamm Canal , which is parallel to the south , also flanked the extreme northwest of the Bergkamen Heights, the north of which is accompanied by the Beverbach north in an east-west direction. The extreme north and northeast of the Braamer Heights in turn pushes itself up to immediately in front of the Lippe and its side canal.

The Braamer Heights are divided into two segments by the Ahse , which flows through the area immediately after it joins Rosenaue and Schledde . The southwestern, larger of the two segments is further segmented by the left Ahse tributaries Soestbach and Salzbach coming from Soest and Werl from the south .

Elevation profile

The highest natural point of Bergkamen heights poses with 91.4  m of Gallows southeast Bergkamen , while the highest elevation of the Braamer height - a ridge between Bönen and Rhynern , the east Bönens 98.7  m and south Rhynerns still 97.3  m reach , whereby its ridge remains continuously over 93  m - occupies the west.

In the next eastern segment between Salzbach and Soestbach, 98.2  m are still assumed on the Klotingerheide west of Klotingen . To the east of the Soestbach, the landscape then becomes a little flatter. It is true that near the Borgeler Linde in the north-east of Borgeln , on the south-east edge of the Braamer Heights, 94.4  m are assumed, but in the south-east neighborhood, the Soester Oberbörde in the north of Soest is around 10 m higher.

The northeasternmost segment, located in the narrow north-south area between Ahse and Lippe, reaches 91.3  m on the Dinkerberg northeast of Dinker .
