Lippe Uplands
The Lippe Uplands are part of the Weser Uplands and are delineated by the river Werre in the west and the Weser in the north and east.To the south the Lippe Uplands merge into the Egge Hills and the Oberwälder Land.The landscape has sharp variations in relief: rounded peaks (Kuppen) alternate with steep ridges, and flat depressions with hills dissected by valleys.Three larger rivers - the Weser, Werre and Bega, cut deeply into the terrain, the Lippe Uplands dropping away down into their valleys.Rare and protected animals and plants are found along the partly, almost natural river courses.
