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.
