Properties:
The Willinger Hochheideturm on the Ettelsberg opened in the fall of 2002 and has been a landmark visible from afar ever since. With its observation deck at 875 meters above sea level, the 62-meter-tall tower is the highest vantage point in northwestern Germany.
After climbing 241 steps—or taking the comfortable, wheelchair-accessible 8-person elevator—you can let your gaze wander across the glass-enclosed observation deck and, in good weather, enjoy unique views of the mountain landscapes of the Hochsauerland and the Waldeck, and far beyond. This indescribable view will stay with you for a long time. A special treat for kids is the nature playground at the base of the tower, which has been expanded repeatedly over the past few years.
Tip: Capture your own special memory at 875 meters above sea level—at the photo spot on the observation deck!
