=== The Westerwald's regions === The Westerwald is divided by elevation into these three regions: * '''Unterer''' or '''Vorderer Westerwald''', or '''Vorderwesterwald''': : Translated here as '''Lower Westerwald''', this region borders on the Rhine and Lahn river valley landscapes and manifests itself as the western and southwestern part of the Westerwald, a heavily [[truncated upland]] with elevations ranging from 200 to 400 m. The subsidence areas found within (''Dierdorfer Senke'', ''Montabaurer Senke'') are known for their clay deposits. Indeed, the name for this small region is the [[Kannenbäckerland]], or "Jug Bakers’ Land", a reference to the traditional [[ceramic art|ceramics]] industry here. In the southwest, in the richly wooded Montabaur Heights (''Montabaurer Höhe'') is found a [[monadnock]]<!--Used to translate "Härtlingszug"; not sure if it's right.--> made of [[quartzite]], as well as the Malberg Conservation Area (''Naturschutzgebiet Malberg''). The [[Siebengebirge]] joining the range in the northwest near [[Bonn]] (reaching 464 m) is, however, regionally grouped with the [[Middle Rhine]] area. * '''Oberer Westerwald''': : Translated here as '''Upper Westerwald''', this is a partly wooded land of volcanic crests with major basalt layers, above all in the area of the Westerwald Lake Plateau (''Westerwälder Seenplatte''), with elevations ranging from some 350 to 500 m. To the south, as part of the Lahn valley, the hilly [[Limburg Basin]] abuts the Upper Westerwald. * '''Hoher Westerwald''': :The '''High Westerwald''' is an undulating and basalt-rich tableland decked with woodlands, making for a highly moderated [[microclimate]], especially against extreme warmth. It ranges from roughly 450 to 657 m in height. Here is found the Fuchskaute, the highest peak.
