The Hochheide Tower and Ettelsberg Lake are perfect for hiking, walking, and mountain biking. You can also climb the Hochheide Tower, but there's a fee. However, the wonderful view of the surrounding upland makes up for it all. In good weather, the view is magnificent and truly breathtaking.

The view up there is breathtaking, and there's something for everyone. Whether it's mountain biking on the various trails of the Willingen Bike Park, hiking fun, or the playground for the little ones, the nearby Kyrill Trail is definitely worth a visit!
