Eierhauckberg, Mountain summit in Bavaria, Germany

Eierhauckberg is a mountain in the Rhön region of Bavaria reaching about 910 meters in elevation. The surrounding area features forests and meadows that cover the slopes and shape the terrain naturally.

The mountain lies within the Wildflecken military training area, which was established in 1938; the US Army used it until its withdrawal in 1994, after which the Bundeswehr took over. Since then the Bundeswehr has continued the annual Volksmarsch, a summer weekend when the otherwise closed area, and occasionally the Eierhauckberg summit, can be walked on prescribed routes.

Since 1994 the Bundeswehr has continued a tradition begun before the American withdrawal from Wildflecken: a Volksmarsch held one weekend each summer through the closed military zone. Participants walk prescribed routes that change yearly, and on some years the route allows the Eierhauckberg summit to be climbed.

The summit lies inside the Wildflecken military training area and is normally closed to the public. Access is possible only during the annual Volksmarsch, a weekend hike in summer that the Bundeswehr has continued since the US forces withdrew in 1994; the route changes each year and only sometimes passes over the Eierhauckberg. The summit sits in Hesse, about 200 m northwest of the Bavarian border.

The summit lies in Hesse, about 200 metres northwest of the Bavarian border, and the Rhine-Weser watershed runs over the mountain: streams flowing south reach the Rhine via the Sinn, Fränkische Saale and Main, while those flowing north reach the Weser via the Schmalnau and Fulda.
