Nice little forest restaurant. For little money, the tower can be climbed, which rewards you with a magnificent view.

Beautiful tower and food is superb too. Since many paths lead up from each side, you should look at the map very carefully, otherwise you might run past

A wooden lookout tower was first opened on the Hohe Egge in 1882 – the Augusta Tower. In 1899, after this tower had become dilapidated, work began on the construction of today's Süntelturm made of sandstone. The cornerstone was laid on September 24, 1899; Among others, the heath poet Hermann Löns was present. The construction costs were 7,000 marks. The tower was inaugurated on May 17, 1901.

In 1910 the tower got a massive sandstone extension, in which there was a small kitchen, a counter and a guest room. In 1912 the tower received a telephone connection.

In 1951, on the 50th anniversary of the tower, all damage caused by age and the effects of the war was repaired. In 1977 the tower was scaffolded to seal joints and cracks in the masonry.

In 1985/86 the management was endangered because there were no connections for water, sewage and electricity. The district of Hamelin-Pyrmont and the cities of Hamelin, Bad Münder and Hessisch Oldendorf formed a financing community and began building electricity, water and sewage pipes as well as a sanitary area. The renovated restaurant was inaugurated in 1988. In the same year, the tower and restaurant became the responsibility of the town of Bad Münder.

The tower was last renovated in 2010. In 2012, the ascent to the tower was blocked due to the risk of the stairs collapsing. The refurbishment of the staircase was completed in July 2012. The hiking restaurant remained open during this time.
