The '''Sieg''' is a [[river]] in [[North Rhine-Westphalia]] and [[Rhineland-Palatinate]], [[Germany]] named after the folk of the [[Sigambrer]]. 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.
