    "The term 'Siepen' (derived from Middle Low German 'sîpe': 'damp lowland' or 'small stream, brook'; cf. 'sîpen': 'to trickle, to drip') is a regionally typical term in northwestern Germany for a usually narrow, damp, ravine-like valley in the low mountain ranges, typically containing a headstream.

    The headstreams in the valley do not necessarily carry water year-round, but they have nevertheless carved out the valley. In the post-glacial period, the volume of water flowing in the low mountain ranges was greater, allowing the streams to cut deeper into the landscape than they do today. ..."
