Military training area people's march
Because the Eierhauckberg is located in the Wildflecken military training area, it is usually not open to the public. However, a tradition that the Bundeswehr continues after the American forces withdrew from Wildflecken (1994) is the annual “People's March” through the restricted military area on a weekend in summer . It is possible to hike the otherwise inaccessible terrain on prescribed paths. With routes that change every year, the Eierhauckberg can occasionally be climbed.
