Hom Berg, Hill summit in Herford, Germany

The Homberg reaches an elevation of 201.2 meters and marks the transition between the Ravensberger Hills and the Lipper Mountain region of North Rhine-Westphalia.

The summit contains a war memorial dedicated to fallen soldiers from Falkendiek who served during World War I, featuring commemorative inscriptions on stone monuments.

In 2008, artists carved ten philosophical sayings into oak and beech tree trunks across the summit as part of a landscape art project near the war memorial.

The Homberg features several recreational facilities, including an archery range and a sledding slope, with access from the Am Brinke parking area.

The eastern and northern slopes of the mountain incorporate the protected Bramschebach-Nagelsbachtal nature reserve, preserving local flora and fauna.
