List of hills in the Teutoburg Forest

This list of hills in the Teutoburg Forest records a selection of the hills, elevations and foothills (some are only high points on the crest of the ridge) in the Teutoburg Forest and its foothills, a hill chain in the German states of North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony. Several belong to the Iburg Forest (a hill ridge near Bad Iburg) or the Lippe Forest (Lippischer Wald) (southeastern part of the chain), most however are considered part of the Western Egge Foreland in the transition region to the Egge Hills (Eggegebirge) – a continuation of the hill chain to the southeast.
