The Rhein-Weser Tower is a 24 meter high observation tower on a hilltop of the Westerberg in the Rothaar Mountains. The name indicates that the ridge of the Rothaar Mountains largely forms a watershed: between the rivers that flow into the Rhine and the rivers that flow towards the Weser. Several hiking trails intersect at the tower - the Rothaarsteig, the Wilhelm-Münker-Weg and the Christine-Koch-Weg. In the Rhein-Weser Tower there is a restaurant and even guest rooms to stay overnight.
The Rhein-Weser-Turm is operated by the Landgasthof Schwermer: rhein-weser-turm.de.

The view from the Rhein Weser tower is gigantic. The climb in the tower should not be missed.
