Hiking

The Ohlwarte can only be admired from the outside... you will look in vain for an entrance in the estimated 7-8 m high lookout post from the Middle Ages

Hiking

The Ohlwarte is one of 4 waiting rooms around Steinau an der Straße. Built in the 14th century, they served as an early warning system outside the city walls. The Ohlwarte is the best preserved, in its original state.
