The Lörmecketurm tower on the Sauerland Forest Route premium hiking trail in Warstein offers a uniquely beautiful view for every hiking enthusiast.
The "Lörmecketurm" was erected on the highest point of the Arnsberg Forest Nature Park at 581 meters above sea level to give an impression of the area in which the Sauerland Forest Route runs.
The site is located between Warstein and Eversberg directly on the Plackweg, around three kilometers east of the designated parking lot in front of the historic Stimmstamm mountain pass (541 meters) and guarantees a magnificent panoramic view of the Hochsauerland and across the Haarstrang and the Westphalian Bay to the Teutoburg Forest. The tower has a height of 35 meters and its static elements are made of cross-laminated logs from Douglas fir stands. Inside, a steel spiral staircase leads up to the viewing platform via two intermediate landings. From each platform, you can enjoy a 360-degree view.
