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 good weather you can see Wegelnburg over Nothweiler in a south-south-east direction.

In a west or north-westerly direction, the view goes towards Pirmasens and Westrich.
