This list of the mountains and hills in North Rhine-Westphalia shows a selection of high or well-known mountains and hills in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia (in order of height).
Highest points of the North Rhine-Westphalian provinces[edit]
The following table gives the highest hill or point in the five provinces (Regierungsbezirke) of North Rhine-Westphalia.
By clicking on the word "List" in the "Lists" column you will be taken to a list of other hills in the respective region or hill range (some of which lie partly outside of North Rhine-Westphalia). The table is listed in order of height, but can be sorted by other columns by clicking on the symbol at the head.

In the following table are the highest mountains and hills in the various North Rhine-Westphalian landscapes (regions or hill ranges).
In the "Landscape" column, major hill ranges are shown in bold and landscape units that have no significant local high point or are basins, whose (sometimes island-like) high points have some isolation, are shown in italics. Clicking "List" in the rows of the "List" column links to other hills or mountains in that landscape – some of which are outside of North Rhine-Westphalia. The table is arranged by height, but may be sorted by other criteria by clicking the symbol of the desired column.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
