    The Wilzenberg tower offers a magnificent view over the Schmallenberger Sauerland and the Rothaargebirge.

      The Wilzenberg, called the holy mountain of the Sauerland, is at 658 meters high one of the most striking mountains in the Rothaargebirge and not only a place of pilgrimage between Grafschaft and Winkhausen, but also a pagan place of worship with visible ramparts. In the early Middle Ages, a hill fort and a refuge castle are said to have stood on this legendary mountain. In addition to the large summit cross, a crucifixion group with many benches in front of the free altar, as well as the Marienkapelle, Stations of the Cross and two other small chapels can be seen here.

        A climb is worthwhile in every season. A great view.
