Landscape characteristics
The highest elevations only occasionally exceed the 200 m limit and thus fall well below the Teutoburg Forest bordering to the south, which is 331 m above sea level on the Dörenberg between Georgsmarienhütte and Bad Iburg , for example . Reached NHN .
The special feature of this loose hilly landscape is the geological diversity, which is able to depict the last 300 million years of the earth's history almost completely in a small area. Important "contemporary witnesses" of this geological development are the Piesberg , the Hüggel , the Gattberg , the black chalk pit (both in Vehre ) and the dinosaur tracks in Barkhausen , a district of Bad Essen .
