Robert-Kolb-Tower, Observation tower in Herscheid, Germany.

The Robert-Kolb-Tower rises 18 meters high on the Nordhelle mountain, featuring a stone construction that provides views of the Sauerland region.

The tower, inaugurated on September 21, 1913, replaced previous structures including a Napoleonic telegraph station and a wooden tower from the 1880s.

The structure bears the name of Robert Kolb, a principal trail warden of the Sauerland Mountain Association who established the regional hiking network.

Visitors can access the tower during the operating hours of the adjacent restaurant, which has operated at the location since the 1960s.

Between 2010 and 2011, the tower underwent complete renovation, including clearing parts of the surrounding vegetation to enhance viewing opportunities.
