    In the middle of the Blockheide, this 30 meter high tower rises up: Hikers who climb it are rewarded with a breathtaking view of the Gmünd Bay with its many natural jewels.

      As the friendly lady from the viewpoint informed, one should definitely choose the blue route as this includes all the rock formations.
      Easy hike through fields and forest... great!

        By the way, the tower is NOT free. It costs a few euros and is free with the Lower Austria Card.
