    The water tower is part of the energy educational trail from the Krombachtalsperre all the way down to the power station in Merkenbach.

      The tower serves as a buffer storage, it is the same height as the Guntersdorf power station, if the water flow in Merkenbach is stopped, the water column can move into the tower. industriekultur-mittelhessen.de/orte-und-objekte/herborn/merkenbach-wasserschloss

        A beautiful water tower that looks like a lighthouse from afar. In the background are two benches where you can enjoy the great view.
