The Ithturm is a 13,8 m high observation tower built in 1912 on the Ith between Lauenstein and Bisperode in Lower Saxony. He stands on the Lauensteiner head, which is 439 m above sea level. NHN highest elevation of the elongated Ithkamms in the northern part of the ridge called "Krüllbrink". Source Wikipedia ... Fantastic view of the surrounding area. It is worthwhile 👍 in any case

Hiking

Following the construction of observation towers on the Deister and Süntel mountain ranges, Wilhelm Falke, a quarry owner from Hanover, planned a similar structure on the Lauensteiner Kopf, the highest point of the Ith (439 m). A first wooden tower, the "Wilhelm Tower," was inaugurated on May 24, 1885. The new stone Ith Tower was built from dolomite by Fr. Schucht from Bisperode and opened on May 16, 1912. The tower is 13.80 m high, and the staircase has 63 steps. The tower is open to visitors at all times, but there is no staff on site.
