Wienhagen Observation Tower

Alone the painting of the staircase is the blast! At the top of the tower there is not much to see because of the now very tall trees. Please take your trash back with you.

Worthwhile hike through charming, hilly landscape is the Wienhagener Turm, which stands on the highest point of the Wienhagens: 479 meters above sea level. It is open year round for use at your own risk.The Wienhagener observation tower stands with 479 meters above sea level on the highest point of the Wienhagen. It is open all year at your own risk. Currently, the SGV department Kierspe is entrusted with the maintenance and care of the outdoor facilities. After renovations were on the agenda in the year 2000, Kiersper artist Werner Baumgart painted the tower from the inside in accordance with the motto "Run through time", creating a true work of art.Since 2001, the regular annual Tower Festival on Ascension Day, organized by the SGV, has been one of the regular events. On the site in Wienhagen initially a lookout tower was made of wood, before it was replaced over the years by a concrete tower. The solemn inauguration by the then mayor of the Office Kierspe, Officer Hildebrandt, fell on the 29th of September, 1929. He served equally as a lookout tower and monument to the fallen of the First World War.The Wienhagener tower is about 16.32 m high. The viewing platform is accessible via 76 steps.The Wienhagen has always been a landmark on the border of Westphalia to the Rhineland. The lookout tower therefore played a special role in the trigonometric surveying system of North Rhine-Westphalia next to the church tower of Agathaberg, which can be seen in the west when visibility is good. sauerland.com/Media/Attraktionen/Aussichtsturm-Wienhagen
