Westhessische Senke
From its southern end, the West Hesse Depression runs in a northwesterly direction through the Schwalm (region) (343.0) which surrounds the upper and middle course of the river of the same name, beginning with the "Alsfeld Hollow" ("Alsfelder Mulde") followed by the "Wasenberg Terraces" and the "Schwalm Bottom" ("Schwalmgrund").
