 The structures that have survived include two watchtowers from the 13th century which are referred to as the 1st and 2nd Walbeck Watchtowers ("Walbecker Warte").Another well-preserved medieval watchtower is located immediately next to the B 1 federal road to Magdeburg on the edge of the Lappwald.From a geological point of view, the Lappwald, which reaches a height of 211 m on the "Heidberg", is a hollow, that only appears like a raised horst due to the sharply downfaulted terrain it is surrounded by.
