The Paterberg is a 152 m high mountain in Vlotho , Herford district and largely designated as a nature reserve. The nature reserve has a size of around 9.5 hectares and bears the number HF-038.
The area designated in 1997 protects forest areas, grassland, Sieke and field walls exposed to the south with the local animal communities, as well as near-natural flowing water and spring areas in hillside forests and a near-natural valley area.
The western tip of the Paterberg is also called " Hünenburg ". Tradition has it that there was a clus here, a settlement of monks, from which the name goes back. No conclusive evidence has yet been provided. Excavations in the mid-1990s successfully demonstrated the existence of a hill fort there. Up until 1958, high-quality building lime was extracted and burned on the slope of the Paterberg.
