The tower and the restaurant are unfortunately closed. Still a worthwhile goal because you have a great view a few steps further.

A magnificent 31-meter-high Kaiser Wilhelm Tower with an interior spiral staircase running in reverse. The tower was renovated in 2016 for €700,000, but, strangely enough, is closed most of the time. The surrounding area has a desolate, overgrown appearance, and the former restaurant has long been boarded up. There's no bus service to the nearby stop. This once thriving Wiesbaden tourist destination is long gone, which is a shame. You can still admire the tower from the outside on a hike or catch the rare days when it's open.

The hike to Schläferskopf was beautiful, it's just a shame that the restaurant is permanently closed!
