The catchment of the Hunte is relatively narrow (its maximum width is about 40 km) and it extends from south to north mainly within the state of Lower Saxony but also to a small extent in North Rhine-Westphalia (counties of Minden-Lübbecke and Herford) for a length of about 110 km.
Hunte valgla on suhteliselt kitsas (selle maksimaalne laius on umbes 40 km) ja see ulatub lõunast põhja peamiselt Alam-Saksimaal, kuid veidi ka Põhja-Rein-Vestfaalis (Minden-Lübbecke ja Herfordi kreisid), pikkusega umbes 110 km.
