Heidekopfturm
Immediately northeast of the highest point of the Heidekopf is the 13 m high Heidekopfturm observation tower, built in 1972 . Its covered viewing platform offers a panoramic view of parts of the Rothaargebirge to the west and, in an easterly direction, of Hallenberg and parts of the Medebacher Bucht , over to the Kellerwald , Burgwald and Habichtswälder Bergland .
View from the observation tower from the northeast over east to south over Hallenberg and its districts to the Kellerwald and the bagpipe . The previously completely unobstructed panoramic view from the observation tower on the Heidekopf is increasingly restricted by the growing tree population.
Traffic and walking
The Heidekopf is passed in the northeast by the federal road 236 ( Züschen –Hallenberg) and in the south by the state road 717 ( Wunderthausen –Hallenberg). Because there are no public roads leading to the mountain, its summit can only be reached on forest and hiking trails, starting for example from hiker parking lots on the B 236, on the eastern flank and on the L 717. The paths leading to its summit run steeply uphill through the wooded landscape.
