We have chosen the tower on the Schaumberg as our destination. From the top you have a great view. In addition, we were afterwards in the restaurant, where you can also have something to eat or drink. There are some great motifs here for photographers. ;-)

In 1914 a tower in honor of Kaiser Wilhelm II was to be built on the mountain plateau. However, the execution of this plan was interrupted by the First World War. Only a 5 m high ruin remained, on which a tower with an integrated war memorial chapel was built from 1927. The larger-than-life crucifix set in the central arch of the tower was striking. This tower had to be demolished in 1972 because it was in disrepair. The undamaged crucifix should be blown up. The construction workers, all from the Catholic villages in the vicinity or of Italian origin, refused to blow up the symbol of faith. The crucifix was removed undamaged, kept for a short time in a shed on the edge of the mountain plateau and later set up not far from the motorway junction near Sotzweiler. Source: Text Wikipedia

Very interesting permanent exhibition on "CO2 and Co" in the tower of the Schaumberg plateau.
Entrance fee 1 euro for passage through the turnstile.

Tip: E-bike batteries can be charged free of charge at 4 charging boxes.
