View of Wilhelmsturm Dillenburg

Highlight • Viewpoint

There are not so many good places to see the Wilhelmsturm from a distance. This point, however, makes the tower shine in full size and is extremely easy to reach.

A tour suggestion from a Komoot collection of the town of Haiger led us into this area, which was largely unknown to us until now. Dillenburg was better located for the approach and the car parked well and for free at the stadium there, so we started the round from there. In retrospect, this proved to be a good idea, …

Do a little ride in the afternoon so that you're really hungry for dinner.

After dinner we went out again, although there was a high chance of rain.
But no rain.

I actually wanted to go back to Fuchskaute. But I changed my mind when I hit black ice on the hub.

The path shortly after the tunnel exit (km 22.6) that is supposed to lead to Medenbach on the mountain road is not accessible according to the map, we had to dodge the federal road to Medenbach. Otherwise a very nice tour.
