location
The Siegerland Rothaar Vorhöhen are located near the core town of Netphen in the Sauerland-Rothaargebirge Nature Park and meet east to northeast at the southern end of the Rothaargebirge .
The natural area extends almost exclusively in the city of Netphen ; Outside of the natural area are the Netphener districts Eckmannshausen , Oelgershausen , Herzhausen , Unglinghausen and Dreis-Tiefenbach . Its northern part extends in the areas of Ruckersfeld , Oechelhausen and Lützel into the urban area of Hilchenbach .
The outer boundary of the natural area runs roughly from the city center of Netphen to the north in the direction of the Hilchenbach district of Ruckersfeld, then east to the Hilchenbach district of Lützel and south-southeast to the Netphener Forsthaus Hohenroth . Then it leads east-southeast towards the Bad Laaspher district of Großenbach , near which it passes the Siegquelle . Then the border runs past the source of the Lahn southwards to the Jagdberg and over its western highlands. Then it leads southwest towards the Netphen district of Hainchen and ultimately southwest past the Netphen district of Deuz towards the northwest to the city center.

Depending on the altitude, the annual rainfall is between 1000 liters in the southwest of the natural area and up to 1500 liters in the windward direction of the Rothaargebirge in the vicinity of the Hohenroth forest house. The temperature is also relatively low with an average of only around 6 to 7 ° C on the heights and around 8 to 9 ° C in the valleys, especially along the iron road.
