Located in the heart of the Pyrmont Forest, the Sennhütte with its monument to Emperor Frederick III is a lovely, stylish place to stop for a bite to eat.

The observation tower belonging to the original Schell-Pyrmont Castle was built in 1824 by the sovereign Prince Georg Friedrich of Waldeck-Pyrmont and is thus one of the oldest observation towers in a spa town.

The old city wall surrounds the historic town center, which is easy to walk along. Sights such as the stream, old buildings, and half-timbered houses can be admired on both sides of the path. In the town center itself, you can also see beautiful old houses. Unfortunately, most of the narrow streets are accessible by car, so a leisurely stroll on foot is slightly hampered, but not a hindrance.
