The Green C can be divided into nine very different and special landscape areas:

The four landscape areas on the left bank of the Rhine have been shaped by agriculture for centuries due to their valuable arable soils:

• the Meßdorf field,
• the garden land,
• the foothills and
• the gravel landscape.

The four areas on the right bank of the Rhine are much more characterized by meadow and floodplain landscapes:

• the Siegaue,
• the Hangelarer Heide,
• the Birlinghover Forest and
• the Pleisbach valley.

The ninth area - located in the center - is the Rhine with its immediately adjacent floodplain areas.
