Odenwald
The Odenwald () is a low mountain range in the German states of Hesse, Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. Location The Odenwald is located between the Upper Rhine Plain with the Bergstraße and the ''Hessisches Ried'' (the northeastern section of the Rhine rift) to the west, the Main and the Bauland (a mostly unwooded area with good soils) to the east, the Hanau-Seligenstadt Basin – a subbasin of the Upper Rhine Rift Valley in the Rhine-Main Lowlands – to the north and the Kraichgau to the south. The part south of the Neckar valley is sometimes called the ''Kleiner Odenwald'' ("Little Odenwald"). The northern and western Odenwald belong to southern Hesse, with the south stretching into Baden. In the northeast, a small part lies in Lower Franconia in Bavaria. Geology The Odenwald, along with other parts of the Central German Uplands, belongs to the Variscan, which more than 300 million years ago in the Carboniferous period ran through great parts of Europe. The cause o ...

Lautertal (Odenwald)
Lautertal (Odenwald) is a municipality in the Bergstraße district in the Hessian Odenwald in Germany that came into being with the merger of several former communities. Geography Location The Lauter valley (also called the ''Lautertal'' in German) begins near the source of the brook called the Lauter, which is found on the ''Neunkircher Höhe'' (“Neunkirchen Heights”). The brook then runs first along a broad streambed, but then gets quite narrow and steep as it approaches the Bergstraße, where the brook's name becomes the Winkelbach once it reaches Bensheim. Furthermore, the valley includes several peaks on both sides. Neighbouring communities Lautertal borders in the north on the communities of Seeheim-Jugenheim and Modautal (Darmstadt-Dieburg), in the east on the town of Lindenfels, in the south on the community of Fürth and the town of Heppenheim and in the west on the town of Bensheim. History The community of Lautertal came into being through municipal reform o ...

Rivers Of Hesse
A river is a natural flowing watercourse, usually freshwater, flowing towards an ocean, sea, lake or another river. In some cases, a river flows into the ground and becomes dry at the end of its course without reaching another body of water. Small rivers can be referred to using names such as creek, brook, rivulet, and rill. There are no official definitions for the generic term river as applied to geographic features, although in some countries or communities a stream is defined by its size. Many names for small rivers are specific to geographic location; examples are "run" in some parts of the United States, "burn" in Scotland and northeast England, and "beck" in northern England. Sometimes a river is defined as being larger than a creek, but not always: the language is vague. Rivers are part of the water cycle. Water generally collects in a river from precipitation through a drainage basin from surface runoff and other sources such as groundwater recharge, spr ...
