The landmark on the Schleptruper Egge is the over-230-metre-high mast of the NDR Osnabrück-Engter Transmitter

The Schleptruper Egge is a hill, 148 m high, in the Bramsche parish of Schleptrup and is part of the Wiehen Hills. To the north is the bog of Großes Moor at a height of about 47 m above sea level (NHN), the Mittelland Canal built in the 20th century and the Bramsche parish of Kalkriese. Immediately east of the Schleptruper Egge runs the A 1 motorway, the so-calle Hanseatic Line (Hansalinie).

On the top of the Schleptruper Egge is the mast of the NDR Osnabrück-Engter Transmitter. The long distance path of Hünenweg, managed by the Weser-Ems Wiehen Hills Society (Wiehengebirgsverband Weser-Ems), which runs from Osnabrück to Papenburg, also leads over the Schleptruper Egge.
