Wesergebirge
The Weser Hills (''Wesergebirge''), also known in German as the ''Weserkette'' ("Weser Chain"),〔"Ein anderes Bild als die Bergländer der oberen Weser bieten die ''Weserkette'', das ''Wiehengebirge'' und der ''Teutoburger Wald'', see Christian Degn, et al. (ed.) Seydlitz, 1st Part, ''das deutsche Vaterland, wir und die Welt'', 7th ed., Kiel, Hanover, 1954, p. 50〕 form a low hill chain, up to ,〔(Niedersachsennavigator )〕 in the Weser Uplands in the German states of North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony.
The thickly wooded Weser ridge is one of the northern outliers of the German Central Uplands on the southern edge of the North German Plain and forms part of the TERRA.vita Nature Park in the west and Weser Uplands Schaumburg-Hameln Nature Park in the east.
The Weser Hills are widely known because of Schaumburg Castle which stands on the Nesselberg (ca. ) in the Schaumburg district of the town of Rinteln, and is the emblem of Schaumburg Land.
== Geography ==
The Weser Hills cross the counties of Minden-Lübbecke, Schaumburg and Hameln-Pyrmont in a roughly east-west direction, from the town of Porta Westfalica and the Westphalian Gap in the west past Rinteln to Hessisch Oldendorf in the east, where they transition seamlessly to the Süntel, a ridge of similar height running from northwest to southeast. They form part of the perimeter of the Weser Uplands and thus also the German Central Uplands which lie south of the North German Plain.
North of the Weser Hills there are only a few hills of the Calenberg Uplands, such as the nearby ridges of Harrl and Bückeberge. To the west, on the other side of the Porta Westfalica, the chain continues as the Wiehen Hills, geologically of similar formation, reaching Bramsche (northwest of Osnabrück).
South of the Weser Hills, and roughly parallel to them, flows the River Weser, from Hessisch-Oldendorf in the east, through Rinteln, towards Vlotho in the west, before turning northeast to the town of Porta Westfalica. These northern areas around the Upper Weser Valley, south of the hills are an old area of settlement, which was protected by Schaumburg Castle on the hill of Nesselberg. From the water gap at Porta Westfalica - the Westphalian Gap - the river swings north in order to reach the southern part of the North German Plain. North of the hills are the upper reaches of the Aue (also called the ''Bückeburger Aue'') that run roughly east to west.
