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)

The Harkortturm, a lookout tower on the Harkortberg in Wetter (Ruhr), was built in 1884 in memory of Friedrich Harkort. The design by Düsseldorf architects Otto van Els and Bruno Schmitz won an architectural competition, although the construction costs were ultimately higher than planned. With a height of 35 meters, the tower offers a panoramic view over the Harkortsee to the Sauerland. Its architecture imitates medieval castles and is part of historicism. The tower originally housed a restaurant with a pavilion and beer garden before it was transferred to the municipality of Wetter in 1907. In 2009, a renovation was carried out to mark the 125th anniversary. The Harkort Tower is a listed building and is part of the Industrial Heritage Route. It is an important architectural monument and a popular tourist destination that combines history, architecture and picturesque views.

Once you've managed the altitude difference up the Wixberg, you'll be rewarded with a great landscape and wonderful views. It's just beautiful how the well-paved paths wind their way over the ridge.

Here you can plan a round in the tour, or just roam.

Built in honor of the Iron Chancellor. Based on the Götterdämmerung design by the architect Wilhelm Kreis

An originally unplanned landfill offers the best view of the entire PHOENIX Lake. It is named after the neighboring Kaiserberg Neuer Kaiserberg, Kaiserberg II or also Phoenixsee-Halde. The (old) Kaiserberg is a natural hill and has been partially dismantled over time. Excess excavated soil from the lake is stored here on the new landfill.

Nice view from the top of the lake and Hörde. The mountain was once a landfill.

A particularly nice place to take a break ... even with seating and a view of the distance.
