Observation tower

On the summit there is an observation tower of the home and beautification association Wellingholzhausen, 30 meters high, which was completed in 2000. The tower had several previous buildings. The first observation tower was built in 1891; he was ten meters high. In 1928 a second was built, which was also ten meters high. A 15-meter-high observation tower from 1939 was used for military purposes during World War II .
