From this viewing platform, you have a great view of the huge quarry and the Dyckerhoff cement plant in Lengerich to the south. An information panel explains how the Teutoburg Forest was uplifted. As the ridge folded, the former seabed, with its dense limestone deposits, tilted upwards. This forms the southern slope of the Teutoburg Forest, where the limestone has been mined for centuries.

A weather mushroom directly on the Hermannsweg. The first weather mushrooms were probably built in Prussia in the 19th century, but were still called Tahitian umbrella roofs at the time. A pencil drawing by Hermann Ziebland from 1880 has been preserved, showing a weather mushroom that is said to date from 1795. This can be considered the first confirmed evidence of such a construction.
