Richelsdorf Hills


The Richelsdorf Hills is the name given to a landscape in the German Central Uplands. The terrain is up to high and forms a landscape characterised by mining in the county of Hersfeld-Rotenburg in East Hesse. Despite its German suffix Gebirge these hills are not a true hill range, but a cultural landscape. Locally this also includes the whole surrounding region in the southeast of the Fulda-Werra Uplands; parts of the county of Werra-Meißner-Kreis to the south and the extreme northwest of the Thuringian county of Wartburgkreis are included.
