Upper Hesse Ridge
The Upper Hessian Ridge () or Upper Hesse Ridge is a hill chain in the West Hesse Highlands in North Hesse, 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. Location 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''.

West Hesse Highlands
The West Hesse Highlands (), also known as the West Hessian Lowlands and Highlands (''Westhessisches Berg- und Senkenland''), are a heavily forested region of the Central Uplands in Germany. These highlands lie mainly within the state of Hesse, between that part of the Rhenish Massif right of the Rhine in the west, the Weser Uplands to the north, the Hessian Central Uplands to the east and the Wetterau to the south. The West Hesse Highlands form one of the major natural regions of Germany (Natural Region No. 34 or D46) and are part of the Central European Uplands as well as being the watershed between the Rhine and the Weser. They comprise a line of hill ranges in the west, running north-northeast to south-southwest on the shoulder of the Rhenish Massif and include the Kellerwald, and a fault trough in the east, the West Hesse Depression. The West and East Hesse Highlands, together referred to as the ''Hesse Highlands'', combine to form the geological unit known as the Hesse Depre ...
