The Maienwand is also a fantastic place to gaze into the distance. The village of Lutter is particularly beautifully embedded in the landscape.

A worthwhile vantage point with a great hut, the perfect rest stop. But why isn't there a stamp box here?

The restaurant is sometimes booked for celebrations and then closed to the public. Call before.

The inn is located on the northern slope of the Iberg on great hiking trails but can also be reached by car.

Attention ‼️ The Touringen stamp “Maienwand” is not there. If you walk the jungle path, which we did, you will miss the “Maienwand” stamp and have to go back from the viewpoint. 🤷‍♂️ The box hangs at the junction of the Leine-Werra-Weg and is called “Maienwand”, even though it is quite a distance away.
