The back tower in Schlitz is a lookout tower with elevator, which is also called the world's biggest candle. It is open from April to October daily from 10 to 12 o'clock and from 13 to 18 o'clock as well as on the Advent weekends from 12 to 20 o'clock.

With good visibility you can look into the Rhön and the high Vogelsberg.

You can take the lift up the North Tower and get explanations about the history of Schlitz and about the buildings you can see.

Bicycle friendly town (I had the impression when driving through).
