Hochheide Tower

  • Viewpoint/lookout tower
The highest viewing point in northwest Germany

The Willingen Hochheide Tower was opened on the Ettelsberg in autumn 2002 and has since become a recognizable landmark of the town. The 62-meter-high tower, with its observation deck at 875 meters above sea level, is the highest vantage point in northwest Germany.

After 241 steps or comfortably and with the 8-person lift, you can let your eyes wander on the glass viewing platform and, in good weather, enjoy unique views over the mountains of the Hochsauerland, the Waldecker LandEnjoy it and far beyond. This indescribable view will stay with you for a long time. A special experience for kids is the landscaped playground at the foot of the tower, which has been continually expanded in recent years.

Tip: Capture your individual memory at 875 m above sea level – at the photo point on the viewing platform!
