Hiking

Even if the tower is not very high - it stands in a place that allows an excellent all-round view.

Hiking

The "Römerturm" on the "Steinstraßer Wall" is a replica of an ancient watchtower as it stood on the Heerstrasse from Cologne to Aachen from the 1st to 4th centuries. From here you have a good panoramic view. This is endangered by the growth of the trees and the heap, but of course the opportunity to pause and a little history is still possible.
