Westerbecker Berg

The Westerbecker Berg is a forested hill in the Teutoburg Forest and, at 236 m above sea level (NHN),[1] the highest point in Tecklenburg Land, the county of Steinfurt and the administrative region of Münster in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.

The Westerbecker Berg lies in the TERRA.vita Nature Park (formerly the North Teutoburg Forest and Wiehen Hills Nature Park) in the municipality of Lienen north of the farming community of Westerbeck.

The historical trade route known as the Hermannsweg, now a long-distance trail, runs over the Westerbecker Berg.

The trail runs along the crest of the hills that form the Teutoburg Forest from Rheine to Velmerstot in the Egge.

Quarries on the hillsides recall the once flourishing extraction of limestone here.
