Whether it is a highlight - well, that's up to you. But we were able to see some old vehicles, including a beautiful Citroen DS, "the goddess"

A lovely little path leads from the eco station to the observation tower: It goes past lots of apple trees (all old varieties) and if you like, you can continue walking to the Lippe. The tower itself with its gratings requires a head for heights, but there is also a pretty bench at the bottom from which the view is almost as good 😉
