    Hiking

    The Wierturm is not part of the old castle fortifications and was only erected in 1884 as a memorial to Jan Wier, a doctor and opponent of the witch hunt, using stones from the castle. The fountain was rediscovered during renovation work in 1934. The Tecklenburger open-air theater takes place in the castle ruins every year.

    On the medieval castle complex, the Wierturm lures you to climb. Those who don't shy away from the stairs will be rewarded with a breathtaking view.
