Wesermünde Geest

The Wesermünde Geest (German: Wesermünder Geest) is the collective name for several geest ridges in the west of Cuxhaven district and Bremen's North Borough () in northern Germany. The ridges are separated from one another by wetlands. These terminal moraines were formed during the Saale glaciation, are up to between 10 to 70 m (33 to 230 ft) above sea level (NN), and are covered by scattered woods and farmland. The wetland areas, between 0 to 5 m (0 to 16 ft) above sea level, are predominantly used for grazing.

The Wesermünde is bounded to the south by the River Lesum in the northern part of Bremen, to the west by the marshes of Osterstade () (on the Lower Weser south of Bremerhaven) and Land Wursten (on the Outer Weser north of Bremerhaven). To the north, the Wesermünde Geest is bordered by the Land Hadeln, part of the Elbe marshes, and the Elbe estuary near Cuxhaven. Its eastern boundary is formed by the rivers Oste, as far as the town of Bremervörde, and Hamme with the great bog of the Teufelsmoor near Osterholz-Scharmbeck. East of these rivers is the Zeven Geest that, like the Wesermünde Geest, is part of the natural region of the Stade Geest.
