A square viewing platform (20.16 metres high) has been built on the roof of the former water tower of the local community of Kurtscheid. The water tower is located in the centre of the Rhine-Westerwald Nature Park, approximately halfway along the ‘Wäller Tour Klosterweg’. This hiking trail is also the connecting trail between the RheinSteig and WesterwaldSteig trails. The platform on the old water tower in Kurtscheid is the highest viewing point in the district of Neuwied. From a total height of around 413 metres, the water tower offers an excellent view over large parts of the Middle Rhine region, the Siebengebirge mountains, the Westerwald and also into the Hunsrück and Eifel. The view of the Neuwied Basin and the Koblenz lowlands clearly shows the volcanic origins of the entire area. Located almost at the intersection of the former municipalities of Rengsdorf and Waldbreitbach, the area of the new municipality of Rengsdorf-Waldbreitbach can be viewed from above. The majority of the Raiffeisen region can also be seen. The platform is open at all times. Next to it is a kiosk with seating, which is open in the summer months when the weather is fine: Saturdays and Sundays from 14:00 - 18:00. There is also a barrier-free public toilet. Please use the car park at the church, from there a short footpath leads to the tower.
