In addition to the whole of the [[Upper Weser Valley|Weser Valley]] between Hann. Münden und Porta Westfalica, several geologically associated, but clearly separate chains of uplands, ridges and individual hills are considered part of the Weser Uplands. In its narrowest sense, the following would be included (running from north to south):

The largest contiguous area of forest in the Weser Uplands lies on the Solling in the [[Solling-Vogler Nature Park]]. Its woods stretch southwards as far as the Reinardswald (on left bank of the Weser) and Bramwald (right bank), interrupted only by the island-like [[Uslar Basin]] and the narrow Weser valley. Even on the far side of the rivers Fulda and Werra - and thus beyond the Weser Uplands - the dense forest continues further south without significant interruption to the [[Kaufungen Forest]].

=== Notable ridges ===
In addition to the aforementioned core ridges, other ranges and ridges are also sometimes considered part of the Weser Uplands. These mainly include the following (with maximum elevations given in metres above [[Normalnull|sea level (NN)]]:

The last major changes to the landscape were made during the course of the [[ice age]]s by the [[glacial]] advances of the [[Scandinavia]]n ice sheet which gave rise to much of Germany's present-day [[Northern Lowland]].
