The fire watchtower on the Geldenberg (89m) was built to monitor the forest in dry periods when the risk of forest fire is very high. Above all, the pine and spruce stands are very sensitive to fire and in the event of a fire, large stands can be destroyed in a relatively short time, which causes very great damage.

At 89 m this is one of the 'mountains' in the Reichswald.
