Nordrhein-Westfalen North Rhine-Westphalia (English)
Geography
North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) is bordered by Belgium, the Netherlands, and the federal states of Hessen, Rhineland-Palatinate and Lower Saxony. NWR is divided into three distinct areas: the Rhineland, Westphalia, and the Lippe region.
The north is characterized by green meadows and woodlands in the lowlands of Westphalia and the Lower Rhine region. The south is marked with hilly regions of the Sauerland, Bergisches Land, Siegerland and parts of the Eifel.
Forty-four rivers run through NRW, the most important of which are the majestic Rhine, industrious Ruhr and meandering Lippe. Of its two hundred mountains the Kahler Asten is the highest.
