It is a right tributary of the [[Rhine]] and 153 km in length. The source is located in the [[Rothaargebirge]] mountains. From here the river runs southwestwards to the city of [[Siegen]] and the hills of [[Siegerland]], both named after the river. Further west the Sieg valley forms the boundary of the [[Bergisches Land]] (northern) and [[Westerwald]] (southern). The river finally runs through a protected area east of the city of [[Bonn]]. After passing the cities of [[Hennef]] and [[Siegburg]] it joins the Rhine near Niederkassel/Mondorf just a few kilometres north of the centre of Bonn. {{Commons|Category:Sieg|Sieg}} {{Rhine Tributaries}} [[Category:Rivers of Germany]] [[Category:Rhine basin]] [[Category:Geography of North Rhine-Westphalia]] [[Category:Geography of Rhineland-Palatinate]] [[da:Sieg]] [[de:Sieg (Fluss)]] [[eo:Sieg]] [[it:Sieg]] [[la:Segaha]] [[nl:Sieg (rivier)]] [[ja:ジーク川]] [[no:Sieg]] [[nn:Sieg]] [[ksh:Sieg]] [[ro:Sieg]]
