Egge (Wiehen Hills)
The Egge, also called the Preußisch Oldendorfer Berg is a roughly seven-kilometre-long secondary ridge of the Wiehen Hills and gives its name to the Eggetal valley in the districts of Osnabrück and Minden-Lübbecke in North Germany. The state border between North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony divides the ridge at a pass called the ''Durchbruch'' ("breakthrough") over which the road from Preußisch Oldendorf runs into the Eggetal and to Bruchmühlen, about two-thirds of the Egge belonging to Westphalia. In addition to describing the entire ridge, in many maps the ''Egge'' is also shown as referring to a summit with a height of north of Eininghausen and east of the Geisberg ; this usage is rare however. The section of the main crest of the Wiehen Hills between ''Neue Mühle'' and ''Horst Höhe'' is referred in maps as ''Die Egge'' ("The Egge"). The ridge runs parallel to the main crest of the Wiehen at a distance of around two to three kilometres from it and between the ...

Bundesstraße 65
''Bundesstraße'' (German for "federal highway"), abbreviated ''B'', is the denotation for German and Austrian national highways. Germany Germany's ''Bundesstraßen'' network has a total length of about 40,000 km. German ''Bundesstraßen'' are labelled with rectangular yellow signs with black numerals, as opposed to the white-on-blue markers of the ''Autobahn'' controlled-access highways. ''Bundesstraßen'', like autobahns, are maintained by the federal agency of the Transport Ministry. In the German highway system they rank below autobahns, but above the ''Landesstraßen'' and ''Kreisstraßen'' maintained by the federal states and the districts respectively. The numbering was implemented by law in 1932 and has overall been retained up to today, except for those roads located in the former eastern territories of Germany. One distinguishing characteristic between German ''Bundesstraßen'' and ''Autobahnen'' is that there usually is a general 100 km/h (62 mph) sp ...

Nonnenstein
The Nonnenstein is a hill, , in the Wiehen Hills north of Rödinghausen, Germany. The Nonnenstein is also known in older literature as the ''Rödinghauser Berg''. Height There is a curiosity about the height of the mountain: due to a measurement or transmission error it was assumed until the 1960s that the Nonnenstein was 325 metres high and thus the highest mountain in the long ridge of the Wiehen Hills. In older lexical works at the beginning of the 20th century, i.e. well within the period when surveying was able to provide accurate values, and the height of other mountains such as the Zugspitze were already determined to the nearest metre, it was even given a height of 336 metres. In fact, however, the Nonnenstein is only 274 metres high, i.e. 51 to 62 metres lower than had previously been assumed, and also visibly lower than the Heidbrink (319.6 m). Nevertheless, the Nonnenstein is still the highest point of the Wiehen Hills in the district of Herford. Vie ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Selvage
A selvage (US English) or selvedge (British English) is a "self-finished" edge of a piece of fabric which keeps it from unraveling and fraying. The term "self-finished" means that the edge does not require additional finishing work, such as hem or bias tape, to prevent fraying. In woven fabric, selvages are the edges that run parallel to the warp (the longitudinal threads that run the entire length of the fabric), and are created by the weft thread looping back at the end of each row. In knitted fabrics, selvages are the unfinished yet structurally sound edges that were neither cast on nor bound off. Historically, the term selvage applied only to loom woven fabric, though now can be applied to flat- knitted fabric. The terms ''selvage'' and ''selvedge'' are a corruption of "self-edge", and have been in use since the 16th century. In textiles Definition According to Hollen, Saddler & Langford, "A selvage is the self-edge of a fabric formed by the filling yarn when it ...

Dören
''Dören'' (or ''Döhren'', singular: ''Döre'') is the name given to mountain pass, passes through a hill range, range of hills in the Low German language area, especially Ostwestfalen-Lippe. The origin of the term goes back to the Low German word ''Dör'' ("door"). ''Dören'' thus separate two hill ridges, which in East Westphalia (''Ostwestfalen'') are often known as ''Eggen''. A typical ''Döre'' is the Wallücke. The Dören Gorge between Pivitsheide V. L. and Augustdorf in the Teutoburg Forest also bears this name. Smaller, wet or stream-filled V-shaped valleys, through which no pass leads, are known as ''Siepen'' or ''Siefen'' in Low German as well as in the Middle High German dialect area, for example, in the Süder Uplands. The related term of ''Siek (landform), Siek'' from the East Westphalian-Lippe area means a wet 'box valley' (''Kastental'', a valley with wide bottom flanked by steep rock faces), that has arisen through ''Plaggen'' extraction (a form of peat cutting) an ...

Mountain Pass
A mountain pass is a navigable route through a mountain range or over a ridge. Since many of the world's mountain ranges have presented formidable barriers to travel, passes have played a key role in trade, war, and both Human migration, human and animal migration throughout history. At lower elevations it may be called a hill pass. A mountain pass is typically formed between two volcanic peaks or created by erosion from water or wind. Overview Mountain passes make use of a gap (landform), gap, saddle (landform), saddle, col or notch (landform), notch. A topographic saddle is analogous to the mathematical concept of a saddle surface, with a saddle point marking the highest point between two valleys and the lowest point along a ridge. On a topographic map, passes are characterized by contour lines with an hourglass shape, which indicates a low spot between two higher points. In the high mountains, a difference of between the summit and the mountain is defined as a mountain pas ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
