== Geography and geology == Korbach lies at the north-east edge of the Rhenish Slate Mountains (here known as the ''Waldeck'sches Upland'', the second word being a German proper name, not the English word "upland"). Neighbouring towns and municipalities are, clockwise from the northwest, Willingen, Diemelsee, Twistetal, Waldeck, Vöhl, Lichtenfels (likewise all in Waldeck-Frankenberg) and Medebach (Hochsauerlandkreis in North Rhine-Westphalia).
