The platform on the Kurtscheider old water tower is the highest vantage point in the Neuwied district. From the water tower there is an excellent view over large parts of the Middle Rhine area, the Siebengebirge, the Westerwald and also into the Hunsrück and the Eifel.

On the roof of the existing water tower of the local community Kurtscheid, a square viewing platform (20.16 m high) has been erected. The water tower is centrally located in the Rhine-Westerwald Nature Park about half way and the highest point of the premium hiking trail Klosterweg. This hiking trail is also the connecting path between the Rheinsteig and Westerwald-Steig. The platform on the Kurtscheider old water tower is the highest vantage point in the Neuwied district. From the water tower, at a total height of around 413 m, there is an excellent distant view over large parts of the Middle Rhine region, to the Siebengebirge, the Westerwald and also to the Hunsrück and the Eifel. The view into the Neuwied basin and the Koblenz lowlands makes the volcanic origin of the entire territory obvious. With its location almost at the intersection of the former communities Rengsdorf and Waldbreitbach, the area of the new community Rengsdorf-Waldbreitbach can be viewed from above. In addition, the majority of the Raiffeisen region can be seen.

The platform is open at all times. Next to it is a kiosk with seating, which is open during the summer months when the weather is nice: Saturdays from 14:00 - 18:00 and Sundays from 11:00 - 17:00. There is also a public accessible toilet available. Please use the parking lot at the church, from there a short walk leads to the tower.
