    Hiking

    The basement forest tower was built from resistant larch heartwood. It has 123 steps. Because of its deliberately flexible but stable construction in a diagonal double-pliers construction, the tower gives way in cross winds or when loaded with a lateral buckling. The visitor notices this by a slight sway.

    Benches and tables were set up outdoors at the foot of the observation tower. The ground floor of the tower serves as a shelter, in which there are additional benches and information boards about the flora, fauna, geology and history of the cellar forest.

    Hiking

    The cellar forest tower on the Wüstegarten is the highest elevation in the Schwalm-Eder district at 675 m.
    The 28 m high Kellerwald Tower, which was officially inaugurated on May 9, 2004, has stood on the top of the Wüstegarten since autumn 2003. It replaces the 18 m high observation tower from 1971.
