46 meters above sea level The Egelsberg is NN high. Like the Hülser Berg, the hill is a terminal moraine from the Saale Ice Age. It was first mentioned in documents in 1546 as Eigelsberg, Eickelsberg, Igelsberg or Ygelsberg. Since the occupation period after the Second World War and then until the end of the 1980s, the British Army used it as a military and military training area; old, weathered signs still indicate its former military use in a few places.

The approximately 68.9 hectare area of the Egelsberg was designated as a nature reserve in 1988.
