View of Wilhelmsturm Dillenburg

Highlight • Viewpoint

There are not so many good places to see the Wilhelmsturm from a distance. This point, however, makes the tower shine in full size and is extremely easy to reach.

The fog just wouldn't go away, but there was no wind either and it was a pleasant ride. The Balkan Tunnel will be closed soon, so this was the right tour for the end of the 2024 season. The GPS went away at some point, so the kilometers and the recording are not quite right.
