Tips
The approximately 24m high Kahlenberg Tower is located on the approximately 326m high Kahlenberg and is freely accessible. In good weather, there is a fantastic view of the surrounding Lipperland. The spiral staircase leads up 102 steps to the viewing platform. Construction of the tower began in 1841. The stones used to build the tower come from the Feldromer Steinkuhle. The sand needed for construction was obtained from the Externsteine area. The coat of arms of the Princes of Lippe can be seen above the portal.

Always seems to be open, so you will not climb the mountain in vain. Great view from the top. In the roof of the tower is an old wasp / bee nest.
