In this sections the river falls from 77.4 m above sea level to 50.4 m. On the left, is located the mountain ranges of Hunsrück and Eifel , on the right Taunus and Westerwald . According to geologists, the characteristic narrow valley form was created by erosion by the river while the surrounding landscape was lifted (see water gap ).
The steepness of some valley sides indicates very much lower mean sea levels caused by the glaciation locking up so much water upon the land masses, thus causing the river water to flow rapidly seaward and so erode its bed quickly downwards. The original land surface was around 350 to 400 ft (110 to 120 m) above the current sea-level.
