Hönne
The Hönne is a tributary river to the Ruhr, flowing through the northern Sauerland hills in Germany. The spring of the Hönne is located in the west of Neuenrade at 437m above sea level. After 37km the river ends near the town of Fröndenberg .
Most notable is the narrow valley between Balve and Menden, where the Hönne has carved 60m deep into Devonian limestone. Several caves are located in the valley, but only the Reckenhöhle is accessible for visitors. When the river has only low water some parts of the valley fall dry as the water flows subterran.
