Bermecke (Heve)

Bermecke is a stream in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

Geography
The stream originates in the Arnsberg forest, north of the main ridge, at an elevation of 532 m above sea level. The source area is located about 4.1 km north of Meschede, on the border of the town of Warstein. The stream initially flows north-west along the town border. After a distance of about 1.4 km, the stream turns and runs in a northeasterly direction. The Bermecke joins the Bache (the upper course of the Heve) southeast of Warstein-Hirschberg at about 375 m above sea level.

With an overall vertical drop of 170 m, the average bed slope is 36.2%. The approximately 5.3 km2 drainage basin is drained by the Bache, Möhne, Ruhr and Rhine to the North Sea.
