    Hiking

    The water tower, built in 1912-1913, has been an architectural monument since 2004. Today it is a little out of the way, a good 400m south of the Blankenheim-Wald reception building.
    The tower was part of a small locomotive treatment plant with a two-tier locomotive shed and a coaling plant. The tower consists of the tower shaft built or veneered in quarry stone masonry, the mezzanine container with control and tent roof.

    Hiking

    A nice highlight for train lovers! Here memories of the times are awakened when the trains were pulled by steam locomotives many decades ago.

    The old water tower was used to supply water to the old steam locomotives. It is the only preserved water tower in the Eifel. blankenheimerdorf.de/Natur_und_Kultur_rund_um_Blankenheimerdorf_13_km.pdf
