The tower at the ringfort stands at the top of a meadow slope northwest of Lorsbach. From there, one has a panoramic view over Lorsbach and the Lorsbach Valley. The tower takes its name from the Alteburg rampart located further up the hilltop. The wooden tower is 8.60 meters high. The viewing platform is at a height of 4.50 meters. The tower and the surrounding area are owned by the Lorsbach Local History Society. It was built according to plans by the late society member Emanuel Winkelmann. The tower was inaugurated on December 18, 2005. The tower at the ringfort is a popular destination for hikers and walkers. It is also easily accessible from Langenhain and Eppstein via hiking trails. The shortest route there leads from Lorsbach along the Alteburgweg trail.

The Meisterturm is a 30.8-meter[1] (approximately 37 meters including the antenna) high observation tower in Hofheim am Taunus. It is located at 292 meters above sea level[2] on the wooded Kapellenberg hill northwest of the town. Today, it only rises a few meters above the surrounding trees. However, it offers a complete panoramic view: to the south over the Rhine-Main region, and on a clear day as far as the Odenwald forest; to the north, the Taunus mountain range, including the Großer Feldberg.

The path through the forest up to the tower was pretty steep. To climb the tower myself, I had to climb 173 steps! The view, however, compensates for the strenuous journey and the ascent. The view is simply gigantic!
