The Hinteri Egg is a mountain in the Swiss Jura with a height of 1169  m above sea level. M.

It is the highest point in the canton of Basel-Landschaft . In 2008 this fact was marked with an inscription.

The mountain is located in the municipality of Waldenburg between the Waldenburgertal and the Reigoldswil valley . The waterfall mountain crossing is about one kilometer southwest of the summit. The mountain area is located in the Basel nature reserve "Wasserfallen", Reigoldswil and Waldenburg .

Only around two hundred meters south of it is the Chellenchöpfli pre-summit , over which the canton border between Baselland and the canton of Solothurn runs. While the summit zone of the Hinteren Egg is forested, the Chellenchöpfli offers a wide view of the Guldental valley to the south and the Alps .

The Hinteri Egg- Passwang ridge is well developed with a network of hiking trails.
