The Olef is a river in Liège, Belgium and North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is long and a left-hand tributary of the Urft. It flows through the Eifel Mountains in the western part of the Germany and eastern part of Belgium. Geography The Olef rises on the Ramscheider Höhe, near the Zitter Forest, about southwest of Hollerath at an elevation of , immediately on the state border. From here it flows initially northwest and through the woods of the ''Dreiherren Wald''. The valley of the Olef forms the state border here which runs along the river. From its confluence with the ''Wiesbach'' it enters Germany. It then forms ''inter alia'', the eastern boundary of the safety zones of the Elsenborn Military Training Area. The river course changes direction in a wide arc to head east. In the next section the Olef flows through the Schleiden Forest (''Forst Schleiden'') and is impounded to create the Olef Reservoir in front of Hellenthal. In Hellenthal it is joined from the right a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Rivers Of Germany
This article lists rivers which are (at least partially) located in Germany. Rivers that flow into the sea are sorted geographically, along the coast. Rivers that flow into other rivers are sorted by the proximity of their points of confluence to the sea (the lower in the list, the more upstream). Some rivers (the Meuse, for example) do not flow through Germany themselves, but they are mentioned for having German tributaries. They appear in ''italics''. For clarity, only rivers that are longer than (or have longer tributaries) are included. An alphabetical list of all German rivers that have an article in Wikipedia appears at the end of the article. The rivers of Germany flow into the Baltic Sea, the Black Sea and the North Sea. The most important rivers of Germany include: * flowing into the Baltic Sea: Oder * flowing into the Black Sea: Danube (and its main tributaries Inn, Isar, and Lech) * flowing into the North Sea: Rhine (and its main tributaries Moselle, Main and Neckar), W ...

Rivers Of The Eifel
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, springs, a ...
