Schweinebraten Junction and Wooden Wild Boar Sculpture

Highlight • Structure

The roast pork is a large crossroad northeast of Bad Grund. Among other things, it goes from here to the HöhlenErlebnisZentrum, to Wildemann and the Iberger Albert Tower. A large Köhlerhütte with many seating groups (tables with benches) invites here also for larger groups for a break.

The path is now becoming more and more overgrown in May, so use this path so that a trail is maintained!

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!

Iberger Dripstone Cave and Cave Experience Center

Highlight • Cave

The Iberg stalactite cave is located in the middle of the Iberg, a limestone massif that originally emerged from a limestone reef around 380 million ago. Some of the former reef inhabitants are still preserved as fossils on cave walls and can be discovered on a guided tour. During the approximately 30-minute guided tour, you will also learn why the Iberg stalactite cave is a rare type of corrosion cave, about the cave's history of exploration and which residents it once and now houses.

In addition to the show cave, which can only be visited as part of a guided tour, you can also visit the three exhibition rooms with the themes “Fascination of Caves”, “A Traveling Reef” and “The “Oldest” Family in the World”.

Admission always includes a cave tour. Adults pay 10 euros and children and young people up to 17 years pay 6.50 euros.

In December to June and September from Tuesday to Sunday and on public holidays, the Cave Adventure Center is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. In July, August and October it is even open to visitors every day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

May 20, 2023,Kurztrip ⛰ zur HWN 130 ⛅😎

Hello 😎!
Highly motivated, after our 3rd stamp hunt, we still considered the Iberg Albert Tower 👀.
Of course we chose the steepest way 😅 for the ascent. And that as hikers newbies 😉.
