When the weather is nice, you really have a great view, even as far as the Feldberg. A worthwhile ascent, which leads over 163 steps to the top of the tower. A look down makes some people feel a little queasy, but the wonderful view compensates for the effort.

The horse head tower was freely accessible last week (end of November 2019)!
