The path is relaxed, a little up and down the ridge, so that you pass the Iron Anton. In between you always have great views of the surroundings. Every now and then narrower trails go downhill to the side.

Eiserner Anton (Bismarck Tower) Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Iron Anton is an old Bismarck tower, one of the few built of steel. The tower was donated in 1895 by Bielefelder machine manufacturer Heinrich Fricke and built and baptized at his request "Bismarckturm". From the 9.5 meter high platform you can enjoy a magnificent view.

Beautiful autumnal route near Bielefeld. Some of the descents were quite tricky at this time of year.
