Top cycling routes to View from Altenburg Tower

Tips

  • The wooden Altenburg tower, about 21 m [4] high, has stood on the mountain top since 1963. The all-round view from its covered viewing platform at a height of around 18 m is partially restricted by trees. The view is free in a westerly direction over the valley of the Schwalm to Bad Zwesten and over the confluence of the Urff in Löwensteiner Grund to the Kellerwald, which reaches its greatest height at 675.3 m, 9.5 km southwest of the Altenburg on the desert garden. To the east, between the trees, you can see the Borken town center, the Gombether See and the Singliser See and, if visibility is good, the Hohe Meißner (753.6 m), 50 km to the northeast. To the south, again partially covered by trees, you can look up the Schwalmtal over Neuental and Schwalmstadt to the Vogelsberg (773 m) 59 km away.

  • ... the last climb is snappy and the way to forestry and heavy rain is rather difficult ... but downhill it is a lot of fun ...
