The Wuppertal Senke is a natural spatial unit with the order number 337 1 .3 in the urban area of the Bergisch city of Wuppertal and the Westphalian town of Schwelm . It belongs to the over-main unit Bergisch-Sauerländisches Unterland , order number 337 in the structure Niederbergisch-Märkisches Hügelland (order number 337 1 ).
The depression consists of heavily folded, karstified limestone from the Central Devon , which has been eroded and karstified by high levels of precipitation and which is extensively leveled at an average altitude of 200 m. The valley is divided by the Wupper , the Schwelme and their tributaries. To the north and south, steep slopes rise to high ridges and plateaus, which consist of greywacke , sandstone and slate . Island-like elevations such as the Linderhauser ridge , the Hardtschiefer ridge or the Nützenberg cross bar structure the Wuppertal limestone basin. They were created by special folds and clump-like elevations.
