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 above sea level. The source area is located about 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 1.4km (00.9miles), 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 375m (1,230feet) above sea level.

With an overall vertical drop of 170m (560feet), the average bed slope is 36.2%. The approximately 5.3km2 drainage basin is drained by the Bache, Möhne, Ruhr and Rhine to the North Sea.
