On the top of the tower you can enjoy a very beautiful view. To get to the top of the tower's platform, you have to squeeze through a narrow hatch. But it's worth it!

The entrance to the tower costs 1 EUR and can be paid in the tower.

The Turmbaude is a quaint excursion restaurant and impresses with its rustic ambience and the delicious and hearty food. It is a clear recommendation!

Worthwhile excursion destination. The hut is open Fri - Sun from 10 a.m. The tower is also open during opening times.

Good food, rustic dining room and nice service.

"The Wallenburg refers to the ruins of a hilltop castle on the 523.8 m above sea level of the Heinberg (also Hühnberg) peak above the Auwallenburg district.
The castle is a protected architectural and ground monument. Interested people from the surrounding areas began exploring the castle ruins as early as the 19th century. Today's entrance to the inside of the tower on the ground floor was created by miners. Perhaps one hoped to find interesting finds in the rubble at the bottom of the tower dungeon. It has been possible to climb the tower again since 1963. In the GDR era, a small kiosk was built below the castle, as the ruins were popular with vacationers and school classes. In 2012 the tower was closed due to dilapidation, repaired in 2013 and then reopened. Today it is used again as an observation tower and can be climbed during the opening times of the neighboring tower building (April to December from Friday to Sunday from 10 a.m.). The view from the tower extends in a westerly direction over the Werra valley and to the Vorderern Rhön. "- de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burg_Wallenburg
