Rothaar Mountains
The Rothaar Mountains, or Rothaar, is a low mountain range reaching heights of up to 843.1 m in North Rhine-Westphalia and Hesse, Germany. It is believed that its name must once have been Rod-Hard-Gebirge, or "the cleared forest mountain range", as the range has nothing whatsoever to do with the colour red, nor with hair.
- Mountain range rising to 784 metres (2,572 feet)
- …is also known as “Rothaar”
- Description: mountain range in North Rhine-Westphalia and Hesse, Germany
