Limberg (Wiehen Hills)

The Limberg is a hill in the Egge, a side ridge of the Wiehen Hills, south of Preußisch Oldendorf in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.

The name Limberg is probably derived from the term liet ("gentle hill"), but it may also refer to lime trees.

The Limberg is about 190 metres high and rises roughly north of the main crest of the Wiehen Hills, southwest of Bad Holzhausen.

Opposite it, on the main ridge, is the Maschberg, also 190 metres high.

At the castle is a 600-year-old Gogericht lime tree, which used to be the site of a regional court.

The summit of the Limberg itself is unspectacular, offers no views and no paths lead to it. The summit point is marked in the photograph by the dog
