List of mountains and hills of the Westerwald


This list of mountains and hills of the Westerwald contains a selection of the mountains, hills and high points of the Westerwald range which lies in the German states of Hesse, North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate. The Westerwald is, in turn, part of the Rhenish Massif and includes some or all of the nature parks of Bergisches Land, Nassau, Rhine-Westerwald and Siebengebirge.
The table is arranged in order of height in metres above Normalhöhennull. By clicking on the symbols at the head of each column, it can be resorted. In the column "Mountain or hill", alternative names are given in brackets, italics and small lettering. In this column, where there are two or more mountains or hills with the same name they are distinguished by their location in brackets and small lettering.
The abbreviations used in the table are explained [|below].
