In memory of and in thanks to Elsa Schmitt and her husband Karl, who generously bequeathed a legacy to the Beautification Association in 1990, which enabled this tower to be built.

Hiking

The "Elsa Schmitt Tower" observation tower is located on the northern outskirts of the wine-growing community of Wendelsheim in the Rhine-Hesse region. Thanks to a generous donation from the town's namesake, the Verschönerungsverein 1886 e.V. (Beautification Association 1886 e.V.) was able to build the versatile tower with a rest area in 2019.
