description
500 meters east of the pass is the mountain summit of the Wiehengebirge, the Lutternsche Egge . The county road 30 runs over the pass, one of the few roads that pass the eastern Wiehengebirge. The road, which is rather unusual for northwestern Germany, runs serpentine-like , sometimes with 180-degree turns - the road within the forest is 2,500 meters long, although the straight line between the forest edges is only 900 meters here. The pass height is 225 meters above sea level. It connects the place Volmerdingsen south of the mountains via Luttern with the state road 876 north of the Wiehengebirge. At the top of the pass at the Lutternschen Egge there is a restaurant with a youth center. In 1998, Wiehenvenator, the largest known predatory dinosaur in Central Europe, was discovered in a disused sand-lime quarry near the pass .
