Rhenish-Hessian Hills

One of the four hills in Rhenish Hesse, the Petersberg

The Rhenish-Hessian Hills (German: Rheinhessisches Hügelland), also called the "Land of the Thousand Hills" (Land der 1000 Hügel), refers to that part of Rhenish Hesse within the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. It lies within the counties of Alzey-Worms and Mainz-Bingen, and covers the same area as the natural region known as the Rhenish Hesse Tableland and Hill Country (Rheinhessisches Tafel- und Hügelland). It covers an area of around 1,400 km2.
