Lenne

The Lenne River is a tributary of the Ruhr River, and has caused flooding in recent years.

Having its source on top of the Kahler Asten near Winterberg in an intermittent spring at an elevation of 2,687 feet, the Lenne ends after a course of 128 km flowing into the Ruhr river near the city of Hagen. With an average discharge of 25 m³/s near its mouth, it is the main tributary of the Ruhr.

Course

The River Lenne rises on the northern edge of the Holzberg ridge. Its source is located at 306 m above sea level (NN) on the terrain of the parish of Wangelnstedt, above the village of Linnenkamp in Wolpersgrund field.

The Lenne flows in a predominantly northwesterly direction through the villages of Linnenkamp and Wangelnstedt, where it passes the uplands of Elfas (max. 409.6 m above NN) to the west. After the village of Lenne the River Lenne runs northeast past the hills of the Homburg Forest (max. 406.1 m above NN) and through the town of Eschershausen (with its suburb of Scharfoldendorf), from where it passes between the two ridges of the Ith (max. 439 m above NN; some distance off) to the north and Vogler (max. 460.4 m above NN) to the south. As it does, the Lenne flows through Oelkassen and Kirchbrak and passes the village of Linse (in the borough of Bodenwerder), where it is joined by its largest tributary, the Spüligbach.
