WeltWald Harz – HWN stamp station 129

Highlight • Forest

The World Forest in Bad Grund offers a variety of plants from different regions of the world. Among other things, you will find entire forests with sequoia trees. A visit is particularly worthwhile in spring when the flowers bloom and in autumn when the leaves change color. The children will enjoy the suspension bridge.

Iberger Albertturm Observation Tower (HWN 130)

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the Iberger Albert Tower you have a wonderful panoramic view all the way to the Brocken. As of 2024, admission costs 1€. The Iberger Albert Tower is a stamping point for the HWN, the Wildemanner hiking pin and the Baudensteig. So: don't forget your stamp booklets!😉 The restaurant will be remodeled as of 2024 - but there will be a large self-service range so that no one has to starve here. Not far from the tower there is also a great view of the nearby quarry!

Glacial potholes on the Iberg

Highlight • Natural Monument

Real glacier pots are not, rather, traces of the former mining on the Iberg.
