Netphen extends along the upper Sieg in the Siegerland region of North Rhine-Westphalia, where narrow river valleys have shaped a municipality spread across many separate districts. At the southern edge of the Rothaargebirge, it is surrounded by wooded uplands and small valley communities rather than one compact urban centre. The Sieg rises within Netphen’s municipal area, and the Obernautalsperre reservoir is another defining part of its water landscape. Siegerland’s long association with iron mining and metalworking remains an important historical backdrop to local identity.
