A magnificent view of the entire Dammer Berge recreation area and far beyond awaits you from the Mordkuhlenberg observation tower. If you climb the 6 floors, you can read the legend "The Robbers of Mordkuhlenberg" in short form based on the text of the play of the same name by the author Bernd Kessens and enjoy the beauty of the Dammer Berge.

The tower, which is around 20 meters high, was built in 1978 and rebuilt after a fire in 1991 and 1992. In 2013, some parts of the tower were renovated and the panels with the legend were installed.

The path to the observation tower is now lined with 8 large iron sculptures representing the actors in the play. They show the way to the tower. But be careful, some people claim that the robbers still live in the Dammer Berge!

In the middle of the Damme mountains, about 500 paces from the road from Damme to Steinfeld, rises a peculiar mountain. In the old days, the path to Dalinghausen led through a loamy ravine on its slope. In this mountain there was a robber's cave, the traces of which can still be seen. A long time ago, three robbers and a centurion lived here. They had stretched thin ropes from their cave through the gorge, and when travelers passed the way and touched the ropes, small silver bells attached to the ropes rang out. Then the robbers jumped out of their hiding place, dragged the travelers into their cave, robbed and killed them.
