The Geiersberg watchtower (today simply called a watchtower or small watchtower) is located on the edge of Hohenrode Park and the Wilden Hölzchen woods. The tower is seven meters high and has an outer diameter of three meters. It is the last remaining landmark of the former outer defenses (watchtowers) of the city of Nordhausen. It is very beautiful here.

The waiting tower / the waiting tower is the only one still existing of the original six such towers in Nordhausen. It was built around 1350 in connection with construction work on the city wall. The tower was renovated by the city of Nordhausen in 1990.

Cool little lookout point at the end of the park 👍.
It's part of Hohenrode Park, including Villa Kneiff, the old botanical garden, and the pavilion further ahead.
