The last 100m to the tower are a bit rocky and scree from the north direction.

When we hiked past there (April 2026), everything had already been torn down.

A very easy hiking trail that largely follows wide paths. Some sections lead through undergrowth or parallel to a forest road. If you're wearing simple hiking boots and have sure footing, this trail presents no problems at all. If you're pushing a stroller, I recommend avoiding the few narrow paths through the woods (e.g., the Limes Wall) and staying on the wide, easily walkable forest roads/paths for those sections. With a GPS device or the Komoot hiking app, you can quickly find your way back to the original trail.

Unfortunately there was a wedding party there at the time, otherwise we would have loved to stop in!

As of August 26, 2025: This lost place is history. All that remains is a green meadow with a small hill beneath which everything is buried.
