Hiking

The Kermelberg water tower in Witten-Schnee marks one of Witten's highest points (258 m above sea level) in the beech wood forest area on the city limits of Herdecke and is visible from afar as a landmark. It dates from the 1950s and is 30 m high.

Hiking

The water tower on the Kermelberg in Witten is also called the “molar tooth” because its broad, massive shape and the cylindrical water tank with protruding elements are reminiscent of a human molar.
