Pioneer tower

Soldiers from the 1st Command of the Pioneer Battalion 29 from Hann. Münden built the first observation tower on the Mäuseberg. In 1937 the 12.50 m high wooden tower was inaugurated. The city of Waldkappel provided the wood. Having become dilapidated, it had to be blocked in 1955. In 1964 the old wooden tower was replaced by a 19 m high steel lattice construction. From the observation tower you have a wonderful all-round view of the Hohe Meißner, the Stölzinger Mountains and the Inselsberg in the Thuringian Forest. A head for heights is recommended!

Small observation tower with a great 360 ° panoramic view of the geo-nature park Frau Holle-Land. The viewing platform is relatively small, so only a few can get up at the same time.

The pioneer tower offers good all-round visibility and can be easily reached via the premium hiking trail 17 Waldkappeler Berge (18 km).

You actually have to do the almost 100 steps. It's absolutely worth it!

The first lookout tower here on Mice Mountain was made of wood and was inaugurated in 1937. In 1955 it was closed because it had become dilapidated. In 1964 the old wooden tower was replaced by a 19m high steel lattice construction. Source: Info App Geonaturpark Frauholleland

Great all-round view and: be sure to enter it in the summit book!

You have a wonderful view of the surrounding area from the pioneer tower on the Männlichen mountain. To climb the tower, however, you should have a head for heights.
