Observation Deck near to the „Highest Point from Weeze in Wemb“

In 2022 the activities to he highest point from Weeze in Wemb started.

A press article located the highest point from Weeze in Wemb. It was also the opinion of many cyclists and their altimeters. Somewhere in Wemb should be the highest point.

With the support of the municipality of Weeze it was official: the highest point of Weeze is 35,5 m and it is located in Wemb – please see the map selection.

These news were introduced in the general meeting of the society „Wir für Wemb e.V.“ and so the inhabitants of Wemb were included into the planning. A lot of suggestions came, which the society collected.

A lot of inhabitants, all polititians of Wemb and the mayor of Weeze promised their support in this project. In 2023 we planned, to build a little observation deck, to make possible the observation of flora and fauna in the restoring area. Furthermore should benches invite to stay and the sign informs about natur and culture.

After that in 2024 we took part in a development programme of the Land NRW and our project was selected. The funding notice was handed over personally by the Secretary for Agriculture and Consumer Care of the Land NRW Silke Gorißen.

The construction of the observation deck was done by the local joiner, who used for local oakwood from the forest of Castle Wissen.

In April 2025 the observation deck was finally finished with the support of many helping hands and the bottom was replanted. The benches were installed and filled with pebbles from the gravel pit nearby in Wemb.

Please enjoy your break at this nice place.
