    The landmark of the area. The view is unique, plus tables and benches.

      The Archbishop of Mainz had set up the Landwehr. This was a terrain formation consisting of three ramparts and two ditches between them, which were overgrown with bushes. Anyone who wanted to avoid the customs stations couldn't get any further and had to cross the border to other territories at the designated points, such as the Schaafheimer Warte, built in 1492.
      In 1936/37 the crumbling Schaafheimer Warte was renovated. A staircase and intermediate floors were installed. Interestingly, a large white swastika also disappeared,
      which had been painted on the outer wall of the tower since 1932. The "balcony" is the original entrance, which was accessible with a ladder. Today's door frame dates from the 500th anniversary of the tower in 1992. The tower is accessible and offers a beautiful view. A fireplace and three pitch-holes can be seen on the upper floor.
