    A great view! The tower is also not historical but from the 60s I mean ...

      If the view is clear, it is more worth it, because you can look as far as Vogelsberg.

          The Vetzberg as well as the Gleiberg can be seen from here in clear, good weather

            From the Kimmel Tower you have a beautiful view of the Wiseck Valley, over Großen-Busek and the castle, to Wetzlar, to Marburg and to the Dünsberg.

              A tower built by pensioners, overlooking the Buseck Valley.
