      The castle-like observation tower was built in 1904 by Otto Bubenzer in the style of an artificial ruin on the Dorner Kopf (346 m). In 2004, Derschlag's landmark celebrated its 100th anniversary and was renovated.
      63 steps lead up to the viewing platform. From here, you can enjoy beautiful views of the Aggertal Valley and the Oberbergisches Land region.
