    Wonderful all-round view into the distance is possible on this lookout tower.

      The Stoppelberg is always worth a "climb".

        A massive observation tower with a large entrance hall has stood on the slightly more than 401m high basalt dome since 1929. The view is no longer that good as the tower barely towers over the surrounding trees.

          Highest point in Wetzlar with a great lookout tower.

            This tower actually belongs on the list of the 3-tower tour. Here you have a beautiful 360 ° view of the area.

                The Stoppelberg is an extinct volcano with 401.2 meters in the Taunus and the highest mountain in Wetzlar. When the weather is good, there is a beautiful view from the tower.
