Syberg, Mountain summit in Hörde district, Germany

The Syberg rises 244.63 meters above sea level, featuring steep slopes with dense oak, beech, and hornbeam forests across its terrain points.

The mountain gained strategic importance in 775 AD when Charlemagne captured the Sigiburg fortification during the Saxon Wars campaign against local tribes.

The Vincke Tower, constructed in 1857 near the Hohensyburg ruins, stands as a memorial to Ludwig von Vincke and later served military purposes.

Multiple hiking trails of varying difficulties connect around the mountain, with the Schöner Blick trail from Sonnenstein offering the most accessible route.

The mountain slopes provide one of the few remaining habitats for common wall lizards in North Rhine-Westphalia, supporting local wildlife preservation efforts.
