Following the construction of observation towers on the Deister and Süntel mountain ranges, Wilhelm Falke, a quarry owner from Hanover, planned a similar structure on the Lauensteiner Kopf, the highest point of the Ith (439 m). A first wooden tower, the "Wilhelm Tower," was inaugurated on May 24, 1885. The new stone Ith Tower was built from dolomite by Fr. Schucht from Bisperode and opened on May 16, 1912. The tower is 13.80 m high, and the staircase has 63 steps. The tower is open to visitors at all times, but there is no staff on site.

From the Lönsturm tower on the Kanstein hill in Thüster Berg, a sweeping view opens up across the Weser Uplands. Dense forests, rolling hills, and small villages characterize the panorama. On a clear day, the view extends as far as the Leine Uplands. The tranquil heights invite you to pause and fully appreciate the vastness of nature.

The Löns Tower stands atop the Kanstein hill in the Thüster Berg region and is a popular destination in the Weser Uplands. This stone observation tower was erected in honor of the local poet Hermann Löns. From its platform, visitors can enjoy panoramic views across the wooded hills and the Leine Uplands. The Kanstein itself is impressive with its striking limestone cliffs. Hiking trails lead through quiet forests up to the tower, making it a worthwhile destination.
