The place Escheburg lies substantially on the Geest, ie the upper, drier part, and extends completely across the slope to the humid march. What is special about the place of geology, among other things, the existing and significant for this region due to the steep slope difference in height of about 50 meters inside the village. This produces several lines with a high pitch or a steep gradient (up nine percent).
