      Wonderful vantage point, parking at the nearby Naturfreundehaus. The Weißenburger Premiumweg No. 13 and the Gunthildisweg also lead directly past here.

        The tower was built in the early 20th century in honor of Chancellor Otto von Bismarck. It can be climbed free of charge via a spiral staircase mounted inside.
