Steel tower with narrow and sometimes steep steel stairs. Be careful when wet, there is a risk of slipping, but otherwise worthwhile views for hikers who are not afraid of heights, especially towards the northwest on Ruhbank and Pirmasens and south towards the Fischbacher and Schönauer Forst

In the 1930s, a wooden tower stood on this site, which was used by the National Socialists for land surveying during the construction of the west wall.
The current steel tower was built two decades later by the French armed forces, which served as a radar station in the 1950s. In the 1970s, it was renovated, painted and made accessible again.

Pros: If the weather is good, you can enjoy a very beautiful distant view to the southwest or northeast.
Cons: The step size of the steel ladder is quite unfriendly to the shin.

In the middle valley floor lies a large meadow area, what once used to the Americans under the
Name Wakaya Camp served as a youth camp. Further back in the valley operates the animal welfare association
Wasgau e.V. a Gnadenhof for farm animals such as goats, sheep, ponies, horses and
Bovine.
A short distance leads from the Rothsteig Fountain on the "Dahn Rock Trail", with
a total distance of 12.5 km as one of the first premium routes in the Südwestpfalz
was awarded.
Now the route leads over several km steadily uphill on the large Eyberg over, the one height
reached from 513 meters. On the Eyberg is an 18 meters higher than steel truss tower
Built observation tower, built between 1945 and 1949 by the French military
has been. The tower can only be reached via unpaved hiking trails.
The trail now leads over the path spider "Dahner neck" towards Fischbach.
After about 10 km you leave the path to the last 2km through the Schlettenbacher valley and
to reach the Spießwoogtal along several ponds to the biosphere house
