The Rhene (not to be confused with the nearby, shorter Rhen a ) is an almost 15 km long, right or southern tributary of the Diemel in the Waldeck-Frankenberg district in Hesse and in the Hochsauerlandkreis in North Rhine-Westphalia ( Germany ).
course
The Rhene rises in the north-western part of northern Hesse and in the eastern part of the Upland , the northeastern foothills of the Rothaargebirge . Its source is located around 1.6 km (as the crow flies ) southeast of Schweinsbühl on the southwest slope of the Widdehagen ( 634.7 m above sea level ) in the Diemelsee Nature Park at an altitude of around 550 m .
The Rhene flows in the municipality of Diemelsee - initially east past Schweinsbühl - in a north-northeast direction through Benkhausen to Adorf , to form part of the eastern edge of the Diemelsee nature park and to run north-northwest. In this area it flows past the visitor mine Grube Christiane and then through an increasingly narrow, deeper valley lined with forested mountains.
Finally , after crossing the border with North Rhine-Westphalia , the Rhene flows about 1.1 km (as the crow flies) east-southeast of Padberg - without reaching this Marsberg district - at around 301 m altitude into the Diemel , which comes from there from the southwest .
Catchment area and tributaries
The catchment area of the Rhene, to whose tributaries Aarbach (5.1 km long) and Bicke (5.1 km) belong, covers 59.297 km².
Watershed
The source area of the Rhene lies on the Diemel-Eder / Fulda / Weser watershed . While the Rhen e , which rises on the Widdehagen , drains north over the Diemel into the Weser , the water of the Rhen a , which rises on the neighboring mountain Hohen Rade to the east, flows south over Neerdar and Wilde Aa and then over Orke and Eder to the east to the Fulda and finally to the north to the Weser.
