Barnacken

At 446.4 m above sea level (NN)[1] the Barnacken is the highest hill in the Teutoburg Forest in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.The Barnacken is located about 3 km (as the crow flies) southwest of Horn, part of the town of Horn-Bad Meinberg, and northwest of the Silberbach stream, which runs in a valley in a southwest to northeast direction through Veldrom to Leopoldstal, and the transition between the Teutoburg Forest and the Eggegebirge hills.The river Strothe rises on the Barnacken, near the B 1 federal road, and flows in a southwesterly direction alongside the B1 from Horn-Bad Meinberg in the northeast to Schlangen in the southwest and which continues as the Thune before discharging into the river Lippe.All streams that rise in the Teutoburg Forest further to the northwest of this hill and flow westwards discharge, sooner or later, into the river Ems.By contrast, the streams and rivers that flow from here northwards and eastwards join the Weser at some point.
