Wildenburg Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

From up here you have a beautiful all-round view. The tower is always open. However, the operators would be very happy about a small donation at the bottom of the tower entrance.

February 16, 2025,🏰 Wildenburg – Kanzel, Turm & Waldrunde bei Kirschweiler 🌲👁️

❄️ Right at the beginning, a small waterfall – between moss and rock, slightly frozen, truly beautiful.
🌨️ The snow lay like powdered sugar on the paths, branches, and stones – tranquil, almost magical.
🌥️ It was cloudy, cold, and dry – just right for this quiet forest walk with a view.

Today I spent a wonderful day with my big one. A really beautiful rock path, the pretty tower of the Wildenburg and for me the sensational ascent through the Mörschieder Burr. The rocky slope with the many mosses and herbs was just great.
The animal park is also really great, many different wild animals, also a pack of wolves and …

February 26, 2022,Mörschied Rosselhalde Wildenburg Felsenweg

addendum. For this tour I parked at the sports field in Mörschied and then walked over the Rosselhalde to the Hohenfels where you have a good view. In the further course then comes the Wildenburg where you should definitely climb the tower. The Felsenweg to the Mörschieder Burr with a nice place to rest. The view is excellent again.

From Herborn we went today via the Saar-Hundsrücksteig in the direction of Rosselshalde. First the path was quite asphalt-heavy. After that it got better and then the tour was nice too👍👍
