River and watershed

Firstly, the Wattenberg is located on the runs in the east-west direction Diemel -Eder- watershed, part of the Diemel-Eder/Fulda/Weser-Wasserscheide. In addition, however, that the north adjoining hilltops Diemel internally the main portion of the watershed between Twiste ( west ) and Warm ( east ) represent, while Eder- internally the south subsequent summit Remme Hausener head on the watershed between the rivers Elbe ( western ) and Ems ( east ) is located. Therefore, four river systems are fed from the slopes of Wattenberg's:

  • On the western slope arises from the Erpe that drains via the Twiste northwest to Diemel
  • On the eastern slope we find the source of Southern Diemel inflow Warm,
  • On the southeast slope arises from the southeast of the Eder flowing Ems and
  • On the outer western slope is the source of Spolebachs which drains over the Elbe to the south-southeast Eder.
