    Hiking

    The water tower from 1899 supplied the Cappenberg Castle from a deep well in the park. In 1927 the castle was connected to the public water supply. As a result, the tower lost its function.
    The tower is part of the Schloss Cappenberg monument. In 1992 it was restored. Today it offers a wonderful view as a lookout tower.
    Height of the observation deck: 135 m above sea level NN
    Tower height: approx.25.00 m
    Tower diameter below: approx.7.00 m
    Tower diameter above: approx.5.70m
    Wall thickness below: approx. 1.10 m
    Wall thickness above: approx.0.45 m

    Hiking

    The climb up the tower is blocked by a gate. Unfortunately, when we visited, inserting coins didn't open the gate.
    On another visit, it worked!
