    There is also a small rest hut on the tower, which can provide shelter from the sun or rain

      The Moosturm is located on the Mooskopf (877 meters) and offers you a wonderful view of the Renchtal, the Rhine plain and, in good weather, even as far as the Vosges. The 21 meter high tower was built in 1890 from red sandstone. The long-distance hiking trails Renchtalsteig, Kandelhöhenweg and the Gengenbach-Schapbach-Alpirsbach cross-path run across the mountain.

      Very close to the tower is the impressive Lothar monument. It commemorates the severe damage caused by hurricane Lothar on December 26, 1999 on the Mooskopf and Siedigkopf. Before the storm, the summit was densely forested, after which the entire tree population was destroyed. After all, a colorful and species-rich forest is now growing in place of the former monoculture.

        Fantastic view of the Vosges, the Rheingraben, the Kinzigtal and the Renchtal. It's worth a visit
