Hiking

Nice path to the tower which invites you to a slide when it rains. Be careful, it's slippery

Hiking

Beautiful view of the Bismarckturm, which is unfortunately still widely cordoned off. The tower is also closed due to structural defects. Even forest paths leading from here are closed due to broken branches. Only the access from the main path to the cordoned-off tower is open.

The baptismal font with the Bismarck tower - which is unfortunately closed.
Hopefully the tower will be restored!
