The Twiste is approximately 40.8 kilometers length is the most important as well as a south-westerly and right inflow of Diemel in Hesse and North Rhine-Westphalia ( Germany ).
course
The Twiste rises in northwestern North Hesse in the Waldeck-Frankenberg district in the northeastern foothills of the Rothaargebirge . Their source is at around 485 m above sea level. NHN southeast of Flachskamps ( 571.6 m ), northeast of Homberg ( 531 m ) and west-southwest of Leusmannskopf ( 501 m ), three wooded mountains northwest of Korbach .
Passing Korbach to the north, the Twiste flows north-east over the Waldecker Tafel through Berndorf to its narrow breakthrough valley on the Lange Wald , which begins at Twiste , where it flows into the Twistesee at Braunsen and flows through it. Below the dam, the dam just east of Wetterburg is, it flows through the river valley in the settlements Pohlmann hammer and sea bridge and takes in the latter Aar on. Then the Twiste runs in the direction and south past Külte , after which the Watter flows in and through Volkmarsen , to then take up the wall and shortly afterwards the Erpe and bend to the north. After crossing the state border with North Rhine-Westphalia ( Höxter district ), it flows through Welda , where the Welda hydropower station is located. The river then runs through a narrow section of the valley, in which it crosses the federal motorway 44 ( Twiste valley bridge ; 637 m long).
After passing Wormeln , the Twiste flows into the Diemel tributary of the Weser on the southern outskirts of Warburg at the Twistemühle at 159 m above sea level .
Watershed
The source area of the Twiste lies on the Diemel-Eder / Fulda / Weser-Wasserscheide , which means that the Twiste, which flows in a northerly direction, drains over the Diemel into the Weser , while the Kuhbach , which is on the southwestern side of the Flachskamp rises, makes a southern detour over the Itter , Eder - with Edersee - and Fulda to the Weser; The same applies to the advertising , which rises on the Waldecker Tafel east of Korbach and later flows into the Edersee, in order to also flow over the Eder and Fulda into the Weser.
Excursion possibilities
Well-known excursion destinations on or not far from the Twiste are the Twistesee and Bad Arolsen .

Level stations
At the Twiste there is a gauge on the Westphalian side near Welda. The water level and other relevant key data can be called up online.
Quality classification
In a report by the NRW State Environment Agency in 2001, the Twiste was classified in water quality class II-III. Various stretches show some structural damage, this is due to the fact that the river is dammed several times and large amounts of water are diverted. The linear patency for aquatic organisms is not given due to the reservoirs, as required by the EU Water Framework Directive.
