List of rivers in the Gladenbacher Bergland

→ to the river overview in the article Gladenbacher Bergland

The natural boundaries of the Gladenbacher Bergland are mainly divided according to the catchment areas of the Lahn and Dill tributaries or according to the landscapes separated by these rivers.

The most important rivers are - in addition to the border rivers Lahn, Dill and Dietzhölze, which run only on the outside - the Aar, the Salzböde, the Perf and, with some distance, the Allna.

Distribution according to river sections of Lahn and Dill

For a better overview, the river basins in the following table are naturally divided according to the confluence areas in Lahn, Dill and Dietzhölze:

• I - mouth in the Upper Lahn valley (with Perf and Dautphe )
  • Bottenhorn plateaus (except for the south and southeast)
  • Breidenbacher Grund (except for the extreme southwest)
  • extreme west and north of the Damshausen hilltops
• II - estuary over the Elnhausen-Michelbacher Senke (with Allna )
  • Damshausen peaks (except for the extreme west and north)
  • Elnhausen-Michelbacher depression
  • (western Marburg ridge )
• III - estuary over the Salzbödetal (with salt flats )
  • southeastern Bottenhorn plateaus
  • North and east of the customs beech
  • extreme north of the eastern half of the Krofdorf-Königsberger Forest
  • Salzbödetal
• IV - confluence with the Lahn in the Gießener Lahntalsenke (with beaver )
  • Middle and east of the Krofdorf-Königsberger Forest (except for the extreme north)
• V - confluence with the Dill in the south of the Lower Dill Valley (with Lemp )
  • West of the Krofdorf-Königsberger Forest
  • Listen (except for the north)
• VI - Aar
  • extreme eastern north of the Krofdorf-Königsberger Forest
  • North of the Hörre
  • Niederweidbach basin
  • West and central south of the customs beech
  • South of the Scheldt Forest
  • central south of the Bottenhorn plateau
• VII - estuary in the north of the Lower Dill Valley and in the Upper Dill Valley (with Dietzhölze and Scheldt )
  • central and northern Schelder forest
  • extreme southwest of the Breidenbacher Grund
