Eiberg, Hill in Vlotho, Germany

Eiberg is a hill reaching 230 meters above sea level in North Rhine-Westphalia with protected heathlands and juniper groves across about 19 hectares of protected land. The area forms a nature reserve with varied soil types and diverse plant life.

The Eiberg was cleared of trees in 1900 and grazed by sheep until 1960, when most of it was reforested. A memorial stone on the summit, set in 1913, marks the centenary of the 1813 Battle of Leipzig and also bears the date 17 October 1638, recalling the Battle of Vlotho in the Thirty Years' War fought nearby.

The Eiberg was cleared of trees in 1900 and grazed by sheep until 1960, when most of the area was reforested. Since 1993 volunteers from the Biologische Station Ravensberg and BUND have cleared scrub from the remaining heath, and since 2009 a shepherd grazes Heidschnucken sheep there under a livestock lease.

The Eiberg lies in the Valdorf district of Vlotho, with the Linnenbeeke stream to the north. The 19-hectare nature reserve, designated in 1998, has no marked trails; paths through the heath and former quarry can be uneven. Since 2009, a shepherd has grazed Heidschnucke sheep on the heath, so keep a distance from the flock.

A memorial stone on the summit is carved with two dates: 17 October 1638, for the Battle of Vlotho in the Thirty Years' War fought close to the hill, and 18 October 1813–1913, marking the centenary of the Battle of Leipzig, for which the stone was set in 1913.
