The Kermelberg water tower in snow marks one of Witten's highest points (258 m above  sea ​​level ) in the Buchenholz forest area on the city limits of Herdecke and is visible from afar as a landmark . It dates from 1958 and is 30 m high. Its capacity of 300 m³ is divided into two tanks: the inner circle holds 175 m³, the outer circle 125 m³ drinking water.

The outdoor platform can be viewed by arrangement with the Witten municipal utility .

The water tower is the middle of three towers along the 14 km long Drei-Türme-Weg , a Witten hiking trail from Haus Berge via the Hohenstein natural recreation area with the Berger monument to the water tower, then back along the Borbach and finally past the Helenenturm .
