List of natural units and landscapes in Ostwestfalen-Lippe
This list of the natural units and landscapes in Ostwestfalen-Lippe reflects the natural units and landscapes of a higher order insofar as they are wholly or partially in Ostwestfalen-Lippe . The division into natural spatial units results from the same abiotic factors (climate, relief, water balance, soil, geological structure) and the same biotic factors (flora and fauna). From an ecological point of view, a landscape is a geographical area which is distinguished from other areas by different characteristics. In contrast to the natural spatial structure, this can also include culturally determined factors.
