🫤 Kinda interesting but not worth the price Not even close The skywalk is really awesome tho

👍👍 A nice walk for those who want to disconnect from the buzzing activity in the old town. Great views for new year!

👍 Even in a winter, grey sky but still worth checking it out. It is a pretty beautiful landscape out there from 4 different angles. The infrastructure has been destroyed by disrespectful people to write down something random(whats a shame)

👍👍 From below, it doesn't look like there's much to see upstairs. But the impression is deceptive. You climb up to above the trees and have a magnificent view at the top, even with signs (which are daubed, but still recognizable). The climb is worth it! Despite the steel girders, the tower seems to ne...

👍👍 Very nice view of the Siebengebirge and Bonn / Königswinter. The hiking trail is a bit steep and can be reached on foot from Königswinter in about 30 minutes.

👍 Eine schöne Aussicht über die Innenstadt von Dortmund inklusive industriellem Charme. Könnte etwas besser ausgeschildert sein und auch die Treppen hoch sind sehr unbequem zu laufen.

👍👍 A good way up see the view of Cologne. The cost is €5 and you get to the top in a lift and then a few stairs. At the top is a clear wall with diagrams of what is ahead of you. You can see 360 degrees and there is no real time limit of how long you can stay.

Mining excavations are viewed from this large platform that overlooks an open pit.

🫤 View through trees largely overgrown. What a shame about the free all-round view. Also otherwise rather neglected, information boards partly illegible

👍👍 Very nice viewpoint, easily accessible by bike and on foot. But a second bench couldn't hurt 😀.

👍👍 A must if you are visiting Bielefeld. A great lookout. You also have the opportunity to go on a nice hike there. The Olderdissen zoo is not far away. There is also a small vineyard nearby.

Intact 13th-century castle with guided tours & views from its ramparts, plus a mummified black hand.
