The Eisenberg is a 469.6 m high mountain in the Etterwind district of the Moorgrund community in the Wartburg district in Thuringia .

The name Eisenberg refers to the mining of iron ore in the "Rühler Mountains" that was carried out here in the high and late Middle Ages. The quarry, which is operated today in the Gollertsgraben, a narrow side valley of the mountain, supplies building material for road construction. In addition, there is forestry use. On the western slope of the mountain there is the water reservoir of Etter winds and a forest house, which is used by the villagers and guests as an excursion destination.
