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 B\u00fcckeberge. 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  Osnabr\u00fcck).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 B\u00fcckeburger Aue) that run roughly east to west.The Wesergebirge is a chain of about two dozen hills that are arranged one after another in a ridge and which reach a height of 326.1\u00a0m\u00a0above\u00a0NN at the M\u00f6ncheberg in the east. In its centre section, west of the A 2 motorway, they reach a maximum height of 278\u00a0m at the W\u00fclpker Egge and a height of 235.2\u00a0m at the westernmost hill of the Weser chain, the Jakobsberg, which is located east of Porta Westfalica and on which the Jakobsberg transmission tower stands.The hills and elevations of the Wesergebirge, as seen from west to east, are given below together with their heights in metres above Normalnull (NN)[2]:Jakobsberg (235,2\u00a0m), with Jakobsberg Telecommunication Tower, Schlageter Monument and Porta Kanzel; north-northeast of the town of Porta Westfalica by the Porta Westfalica gorgeK\u00f6nigsberg (c. 225\u00a0m); northeast of Porta WestfalicaRoter Brink (c. 225\u00a0m), and Nammer Lager; south-southwest of NammenLohfelder Berg (215,2\u00a0m); northeast of LohfeldNammer Klippe (248,8\u00a0m); nature reserve; south of NammenNammer Kopf (266,3\u00a0m), and the Nammer Klippe, nature reserve; south-southeast of NammenW\u00fclpker Egge (c. 278\u00a0m), with a quarry; south of W\u00fclpkeRote Klippe (c. 220\u00a0m), with a quarry; south of KleinenbremenPapenbrink (303\u00a0m), with transmission facility and a quarry; north-northwest of TodenmannLange Wand (320,1\u00a0m); in the Hainholz State Forest northeast of TodenmannFrankenburg-Berg (c. 235\u00a0m), and ruins of the Frankenburg; spur of the Langen Wand north of  Rinteln-TodenmannLuhdener Klippe (c. 300\u00a0m), and the 19.8\u00a0m high Klippe Tower; north-northeast of RintelnHirschkuppe (250,1\u00a0m); northeast of RintelnMessingsberg (270,1\u00a0m), with a quarry; north-northeast of Rinteln-SteinbergenWestendorfer Egge (c. 295\u00a0m), with a quarry; north-northeast of Rinteln-WestendorfOberberg (325,2\u00a0m), and the Springsteinen; north of Rinteln-SchaumburgHeutzeberg (225,5\u00a0m); spur of the Oberberg north of SchaumburgNesselberg (c. 225\u00a0m), and Schaumburg Castle on a spur of the M\u00f6ncheberg east of SchaumburgM\u00f6ncheberg (326,1\u00a0m), and the Paschenburg Guest House between Schaumburg and Hessisch Oldendorf-RohdentalPanorama[edit]Towns and villages[edit]Literature[edit]Bundesanstalt f\u00fcr Landeskunde und Raumforschung: Geographische Landesaufnahme 1:200000.
