Viewpoints in Rhineland-Palatinate

The Luitpold Tower stands on the 610 meter high Weißenberg, which belongs to the district of Merzalben. From the 30 meter high tower, whose viewing terrace can be reached via 184 steps and which also offers several cozy resting places, you can enjoy a grandiose 360​​° panorama view over the Palatinate Forest and - with good visibility - even as far as the Rhine plain, across to neighboring Alsace Lorraine and the Vosges. It is located directly on the well-known long-distance hiking trail Palatinate Forest Path and can be reached from the L496 between Johanniskreuz and Leimen/Pfalz via a narrow forest road (signposted Hermersbergerhof). Free parking is available a little below the tower.

Mighty rock colossus of red sandstone with comfortable seating and a fantastic view, located on the Münchweiler Höhenwanderweg. Adjacent to the east is a core biosphere reserve zone, the protection provisions of which must be strictly observed. The Bauwalder Fels is best reached from the Sauweiher hiking car parking, which is at the end of the Konrad-Adenauer-Ring in Münchweiler an der Rodalb.

The popular and almost 19 m high Otto Tower above the town of Kirchen (Sieg) in the Druiden.Hexen.Siegerland (Druids.Witches.Siegerland) was erected twice, once in 1911 and again completely new almost 100 years later. Here, from the heights of the Kahlberg, we can enjoy the wonderful all-round view of the Siegtal valley, the Freusburg castle and the heights of the Westerwald. Numerous hiking trails, such as the Druidensteig, Natursteig Sieg, Ottoturm and Druidenwanderweg, etc., lead directly past the tower. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
