location

The North Sauerland Oberland stretches in a slight curve from Balve to Marsberg . To the north, part of the Hellwegbörden (main unit 542) and thus the Westphalian Bay (main unit group 54) borders in the Haarstrang .

To the south, the Sauerland sinks (335) separate the area from the adjoining Rothaargebirge (with Hochsauerland , 333) and to the southwest from the Lennegebirge (part of the Südsauerländer Bergland , 336 2 ); in the west joins the Lower Sauerland (337 2 ).

The Arnsberger Wald nature park in the knee between the Möhne in the north and the Ruhr region to the south-west forms the (northern) center of the landscape.
