Upper Hesse Ridge

The Upper Hessian Ridge (German: Oberhessische Schwelle) or Upper Hesse Ridge is a hill chain in the West Hesse Highlands in North and Middle Hesse, which lies on the Rhine-Weser watershed and links the montane Central Upland ranges of the Kellerwald and the Vogelsberg in a north-south direction. The swell is divided into the Gilserberg Heights (Gilserberger Höhen) in the north, the central Neustadt Saddle (Neustädter Sattel) and the Northern Vogelsberg Foreland (Nördliche Vogelsberg-Vorland) in the south.

In the north the Gilserberg Heights transition directly into the clearly much higher Kellerwald with its prominent hills, the Jeust and the Wüstegarten; to the northeast into the Löwenstein Bottom, which is part of the Ostwaldecker Randsenken.

Separated by the Wohra the ridge is adjoined in the northwest by the Burgwald at the Gilserberg Heights. In the southwest the Ohm and the flat Amöneburg Basin follows by the Neustadt Saddle and the Northern Vogelsberg Foreland.

The Vogelsberg Foreland goes in the extreme southwest – again with the Ohm as its boundary – into the Lumda Plateau. The Lumda Plateau is part of the so-called Anterior Vogelsberg (Vorderen Vogelsberg), which adjoins east of the Ohm valley in the south the Lower Vogelsberg (Untere Vogelsberg). Like the actual (High) Vogelsberg it belongs to the East Hesse Highlands (Osthessischen Bergland).

To the east of the three parts of the Upper Hessian Ridge is the West Hesse Depression (Westhessische Senke) in the shape of the Schwalm by the Eder tributary of the same name.
