Schreckenbergturm, Fortified tower ruins in Zierenberg, Germany

The Schreckenbergturm stands 15.5 meters tall at 460 meters above sea level on the Großer Schreckenberg mountain near Zierenberg in northern Hesse.

Built as a defensive watchtower in the 18th century, the structure underwent reconstruction in 1911 and subsequent renovation in 1991 using natural stone materials.

The Hessisch-Waldeckischer Gebirgs- und Heimatverein branch of Zierenberg maintains this observation tower as part of the region's architectural heritage.

Visitors reach the tower via forest paths including the Habichtswaldsteig trail, which leads through a volcanic basalt field known as Blaue Steine.

The observation platform offers views of Warmetal valley, Großer Bärenberg, Burghasunger Berg, and Hoher Dörnberg across the surrounding landscape.
