The Wittelsberger Warte is the landmark and coat of arms symbol of the Ebsdorfergrund community. Landgrave Ludwig I had the watch tower built on the Kirchberg in 1431, as the extreme boundary between the Hessian power and the neighboring Kurmainz. The Wittelsberg Church, built in 1844, together with the watch tower, offers the image of a knight's castle rising from the plain. A panoramic circular path invites you to enjoy a paradisiacal view and to linger at the foot of the town's landmark.
