The Brandenkopf Tower (33 m) was originally built in 1902 as a wooden viewing structure by the Black Forest Association. But as early as 1905, a new observation tower (22 m) had to be built. Because of the risk of collapse, a square sandstone tower was built in 1929. You can reach the viewing platform with the help of 150 steps.

Ps: After the steep gradients of up to 19%, you more than deserve this outstanding view. 👍🏻👌🏻
