With a bit of luck, you can find the tower. In my case, a family tipped me off that this tower exists next to the Bismarck Tower. It's very interesting architecture. You can find some information about it next to it. There's a small information table. Unfortunately, not all levels of the tower are accessible. It's a great place to take some interesting pictures.

A playful place, like something out of a fairytale. Just with the trash.

The monastery complex, enclosed by a dry-stone wall and covering over six hectares, is situated at the highest point of the Huywald forest. The monastery buildings, including the church and cloister, stand to the west on the hilltop. The farm buildings and the monastery garden are located in the area to the east, which lies almost four meters lower. Source: Wikipedia

According to legend, the robber Daneil lived here. The three hollow spaces were artificially expanded and may have once been storage rooms.

This tower, which is part of the overall concept of the "Spiegelsberge" park, was built by Spiegel around 1780. On the substructure and the intermediate section with the slanted windows, there are remains of animal depictions in the rusticated masonry, an expression of the new "feeling for nature". When we climb the tower, the window facing the direction we are walking gives us a view of the Brocken. Source: display board

The Spiegelsberge Landscape Park is located in the ridge of the same name south of Halberstadt. It was named after the Halberstadt cathedral dean Ernst Ludwig Christoph Spiegel. Under his guidance, this landscape park was created, which is one of the earlier examples of English-style landscape parks in Germany. In 1771 it was opened to the public and today, with its well-developed paths, it still offers visitors a walking and hiking experience.
