      The tower is a bit ingrown, but still a nice destination

        A relatively quiet corner with little public traffic.
        Unfortunately, the tower is built on leasehold land. Thus, the Fichtelgebirge Association has no influence on the surrounding forest and the rather sparse view from the tower.
