It is a wonderful feeling to look far into the country from a lookout tower, vantage point or observation platform. This works especially well in the Westerwald with its many heights. So it's no wonder that there are so many of these worthwhile excursion destinations here. We introduce you to ten points that you can head for on your exploration tours.
