Geography

The Iserlohner Heights extends northward to the immediate vicinity of the central urban areas of Iserlohn and, to the east, Hemer's, and is bounded to the west and east by tributaries of the Ruhr flowing in northern directions.^[3]

The southwest boundary is the valley of the Lenne from below Werdohl over Altena to Lössel [de] in the southwest of Iserlohn.^[4]

In contrast, the eastern boundary is the valley of the Hönne from Neuenrade via Balve including Volkringhausen to approximately the city limits of Hemer.
