    A very beautiful area, a little foretaste of the Lüneburg Heath !!

      If you want to climb the tower, you should show a certain level of ambition😉

        The Scheidwarte is a round tower about 8 m high near Volkmarsen.
        Watchtowers were used by their builders to keep an eye out for approaching enemy armies and to warn the nearby villages.
        The entrance is about 3-4 m high - the tower can only be viewed from the outside, however.
        The small Scheid nature reserve is located around it, which has its own charm every year.
