The Rehburg Hills (German: Rehburger Berge) are a hill range, up to 161.4 m above sea level (NN), in the districts of Nienburg and Schaumburg in Lower Saxony, Germany.
The Rehburg Hills and their foothills give the impression of being several small neighbouring hills. The little village of Bad Rehburg was a well-known spa and bathing resort in the 18th and 19th centuries. As a result, they have been referred to for centuries as the Rehburger Berge or Rehburg Hills.
The Rehburg Hills occupy the southern part of the district of Nienburg and northern part of the district of Schaumburg on the southwestern edge of the Steinhuder Meer Nature Park. They lie between Rehburg-Loccum (to the northwest), Hagenburg (to the east) and Sachsenhagen (to the south) and run close by the village of Bad Rehburg that gives them their name. The latter, like the settlements of Loccum, Rehburg, Münchehagen in the west and Winzlar in the east belong to the borough of Rehburg-Loccum. The municipalities of Wölpinghausen (including Bergkirchen) and Auhagen (including Düdinghausen) in the south also lie on the ridge. Away to the south is the Schaumburg Forest, whilst to the northeast is Lake Steinhude (Steinhuder Meer).
Not far to the north of the Rehburg Hills runs a section of the stream known as the Steinhuder Meerbach; to the south is part of the Mittelland Canal, to the west is part of the upper course of the Fulde and about 10 km west of the ridge are the middle reaches of the River Weser.
