Wesermünde Geest
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Wesermünde Geest (German: Wesermünder Geest; Northern Low Saxon: Wersermünner Geest) is the collective name for several geest ridges in the west of Cuxhaven district and Bremen's North Borough [de] in northern Germany. The ridges are separated from one another by wetlands. These terminal moraines were formed during the Saale glaciation, are up to between 10 and 70 m (33 and 230 ft) above sea level (NN), and are covered by scattered woods and farmland. The wetland areas, between 0 and 5 m (0 and 16 ft) above sea level, are predominantly used for grazing.
