Kaiser Wilhelm Monument, Hohensyburg

Highlight • Monument

From here the view is terrific! Every time I visited friends in Dortmund, they brought me here. But also the monument itself, with the 34 meter high tower and the equestrian statue of the emperor is no less impressive. Do not forget the jacket! This is somehow always a strong wind. But you can use them anyway when hiking in the area.

Highlight • Viewpoint

Ideal vantage point into the Ruhr valley towards Schwerte, Hagen, Herdecke and Wetter. Interesting area below the Kaiser Wilhelm monument with the Hohensyburg castle ruins in the immediate vicinity.

This well-located vantage point allows a wonderful view of the Ruhrpott deep into the valley and far across the Hengsteysee in the direction of the Sauerland.

Ruhr Riverside Trail

The trails around the Hengstey lake and the Ruhr river offer great views of the forested Hohensyburg ridgeline with the historic Syburg castle ruins and the Herman monument, and the trails and rock platforms on the Syberg afford panoramic views of the valley and lakes formed by the Ruhr river.
