Beautiful view of the castle

The tower simply belongs to a Marburg excursion, like the castle and the Elisabethkirche, which you can look down on wonderfully from here. But the beautiful Hinterland should not be overlooked either! With appropriate weather conditions, the sunsets up there are very beautiful.

The Church of St. Cyriakus is worth seeing; the fortified tower is particularly striking and is one of the oldest parts of the church.

In the Erlensee recreation area, the B62 is acoustically present even on Sundays, so that a certain amount of blocking out is necessary for relaxation.

The district heating plant of Philipps University Marburg on the Lahnberge hills is an impressive facility. It is now a listed historical monument. It was commissioned in 1972 and supplemented in 2020 with a wood chipping plant. It supplies heat to the "Lahnberge Campus" and, until 2011, also heated the university hospital.
