Open (€2) and despite the 400% price increase worth climbing on sunny days. Octagonal 20 metre high neogothic tower erected in 1857 on the highest point of the Syberg, which can be climbed to gain even higher views above the treetops of the Ruhr valley to the South, the Emscher Valley to the North, and a cool top-down angle into the castle ruins right below the tower. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hohensyburg#Vincketurm
The tower was built in 1857 from Ruhr sandstone on the highest point of the Syberg (244.63 m above sea level) in memory of the former Chief President of Westphalia Ludwig von Vincke (1774-1844) for the establishment of Westphalia after the French rule during the Département Ruhr occupation. He had married Eleonore von Sieberg in 1810 and became the owner of the medieval castle ruins Hohensyburg.

The tower climb costs 50 cents per person. The climb is worthwhile, as you have a remarkable view over the Ruhr & Lenne towards Hagen.

Beautiful tower that can be used as a lookout, but for a fee ...
