The Bismarck Tower is a landmark on the Seilerkuppe hill above the Seilersee lake at an elevation of 338 meters above sea level. There is a difference in altitude of approximately 130 meters from the top of the Seilersee dam to the base of the tower. The square tower base rests on a square foundation with sides measuring 7.5 meters. The viewing platform is 11 meters high and is accessible via a stone staircase with 44 steps and a spiral staircase with 13 steps. The tower is 14.5 meters high in total. The construction of a national monument was first considered in Iserlohn in 1911. After lengthy preparations, the foundation stone was laid on September 6, 1914, during the early days of the war. The tower was inaugurated on March 31, 1915. One day later, on Bismarck's 100th birthday, the fire in the bowl at the top of the tower was lit for the first time. Until the end of the war, the tower served as a lookout post for air traffic control. During World War II, it was used by the German Wehrmacht from 1940 onwards. After the war, the British military used it as a radio command center. The public was only allowed to use the Bismarck Tower as an observation tower from 1955 onwards. From 1957 to 1989, no fires were lit in the tower's top. A special feature of the Bismarck Tower today is its photovoltaic system with eight modules on the roof for generating electricity. These modules power a relay station for amateur radio and are not visible to visitors from below. Unfortunately, the Bismarck Tower is currently closed to visitors until further notice. There are structural defects that are currently being repaired. Exterior viewing is possible, however. https://www.maerkisches-sauerland.com/poi/bismarckturm https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bismarckturm_(Iserlohn)

Beautiful cycle path and wonderful views towards Sauerland

Former slag heap in Dortmund Asseln, which has now finally been opened to the public. From the summit there is a panoramic view as far as Hamm.

Beautiful view, but the path is very rocky. Sturdy shoes are highly recommended, especially on the descent.

Second highest point in the district of Unna

You walk along a gravel path to the Asselner Alm and can enjoy a great view.

When the weather is nice there is a wonderful view and some seating.

Great panoramic view over Dortmund and the surrounding area from a former mining dump.
