The Kermelberg water tower in Witten-Schnee marks one of Witten's highest points (258 meters) at the Buchenholz forest area on the border with Herdecke and is visible from afar as a landmark. It dates from the 1950s and has a height of 30 meters.

Hiking

The water tower on the Kermelberg in Witten is also called the “molar tooth” because its broad, massive shape and the cylindrical water tank with protruding elements are reminiscent of a human molar.
