Outside of Nottertal-Heilinger Höhen you are on the Unstrut-Werra cycle path. This is 113 kilometers long and follows the rivers that give it its name.

The tower structure is a true masterpiece, especially by carpenters but also by slaters. I don't want to see the construction plan of the framework for the main tower and the four attached corner towers. A very atypical but successful construction!
