The Willinger Hochheideturm on the Ettelsberg was opened in autumn 2002 and has been a recognizable landmark of the village ever since. The 62-metre high tower with its viewing platform at 875 meters above sea level is the highest vantage point in north-west Germany.

After 241 steps or comfortably and handicapped-accessible, with the 8-person elevator, you can let your eyes wander on the glazed viewing platform and, in good weather, enjoy unique views over the mountains of the Hochsauerland, the Waldeck region and far beyond. This indescribable view will stay with you for a long time. A special experience for kids is the landscape playground at the foot of the tower, which has been expanded again and again in recent years.

Tip: Capture your own individual memory at 875 m above sea level - at the photo point on the viewing platform!
