The Lörmecketurm on the Sauerland-Waldroute premium hiking trail in Warstein offers a uniquely beautiful view for every hiking enthusiast.
The "Lörmecketurm" was erected on the highest point of the Arnsberg Forest Nature Park at 581 meters above sea level to provide an impression of the area in which the Sauerland-Waldroute runs.
The site is located between Warstein and Eversberg directly on the Plackweg, around three kilometers east of the designated parking area in front of the historic Stimmstamm mountain pass (541 meters) and guarantees a magnificent panoramic view of Hochsauerland and across the Haarstrang and Westfalen Bay to the Teutoburg Forest. The tower has a height of 35 meters and its static elements are made of cross-laminated logs from Douglas fir stands. Inside, a steel spiral staircase leads to the viewing platform via two intermediate landings. From each platform, you can enjoy a 360-degree view.
