Kurtscheid viewing platform still well frequented

A group of people stand on a viewing platform atop a tall brick tower with a metal staircase, surrounded by green fields, trees, and rolling hills under a partly cloudy sky. A German flag is flying from the platform.

At the beginning of July, the number of visitors to the viewing platform on the Kurtscheid water tower exceeded 25,000! The wonderful 360-degree view of the surrounding area and far beyond has lost none of its appeal since its opening.

The water tower is centrally located in the Rhine-Westerwald Nature Park, roughly halfway along the "Wäller Tour Klosterweg". The platform is the highest viewing point in the district of Neuwied with a total height of around 413 m. The kiosk at the tower is open every Saturday and Sunday from 14:00 to 18:00.
