    From 1955, the water tower "Auf dem Sandberg" supplied the Neffeltal communities of the water supply association with fresh water. With a storage volume of up to 400 cbm, it stands imposingly on the first elevations of the "Ginnicker Stufenländchen".
    As a striking landmark, its function has changed. It is the center of a meadow orchard area with partially exposed bunkers that provide refuge for wild animals. The promotion of these small habitats is maintained by the Schmittmann Foundation for Environmental and Nature Conservation.
