Page "Oerlinghausen" Paragraph 1

Geographically, Oerlinghausen is situated on top of the Teutoburger Wald hills.

Oerlinghausen's highest point is the Tönsberg with 334 meters.

The flatlands of northern Germany start some 40 km north of Oerlinghausen.

There are beautiful hiking routes along the hill chain which stretches 80 km in east-west direction.

To the south of the hills are large sand areas originating from melting glaciers during past ice ages.

Although not high, the hills are steep in many places and almost completely covered by forest.
