Vantage point/Observation tower

Highest elevation in Lippe with panoramic views of the Teutoburg Forest and the Weserbergland. When visibility is good, you can see as far as the Harz Mountains.

The striking peak of the 497m high Köterberg can be seen from afar. The unwooded hilltop with the telecommunications tower and the Köterberghaus forms the southern border of the Easter wheel town of Lügde. This is where the North Rhine-Westphalian districts of Lippe and Höxter and the Lower Saxon district of Holzminden meet. The panoramic view offers a fantastic vista that stretches from the Hermann monument in Detmold to the Brocken in the Harz mountains.

The Köterberg can be wonderfully hiked up or around. More information here: View-rich tours around the highest mountain in Lippe

Did you know...?

...that the Köterberg is also called "Monte Wau Wau"? But the name actually has nothing to do with dogs. Köterberg is derived from the word "Kötterberg", which means border mountain.

Top tip: In winter, the Köterberg is also ideal for tobogganing and skiing, attracting and delighting visitors of all ages every year.

Openings

The "Köterberghaus" restaurant is open daily from 9 am.
