List of mountains and hills of North Rhine-Westphalia

This list of the mountains and hills in North Rhine-Westphalia shows a selection of high or well-known mountains and hills in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia (in order of height).

Contents

Highest points of the North Rhine-Westphalian provinces

The following table gives the highest hill or point in the five provinces (Regierungsbezirke) of North Rhine-Westphalia.

By clicking on the word "List" in the "Lists" column you will be taken to a list of other hills in the respective region or hill range (some of which lie partly outside of North Rhine-Westphalia}. The table is listed in order of height, but can be sorted by other columns by clicking on the symbol at the head.

  • The highest point in the Province of Detmold is on the flank of the Totenkopf in the Sauerland near Bad Wünnenberg. The provincial boundary runs up to a height of 498 m above sea level (NN).

    • Highest points of the North Rhine-Westphalian regions

    In the following table are the highest mountains and hills in the various North Rhine-Westphalian landscapes (regions or hill ranges).

    In the "Landscape" column, major hill ranges are shown in bold and landscape units that have no significant local high point or are basins, whose (sometimes island-like) high points have some isolation, are shown in italics. Clicking "List" in the rows of the "List" column links to other hills or mountains in that landscape – some of which are outside of North Rhine-Westphalia. The table is arranged by height, but may be sorted by other criteria by clicking the symbol of the desired column.
