      Description:
      The observation tower on the elevation with the strange-sounding name Kütschenrain impresses not only with a wonderful view from the Fichtelgebirge in the northeast to Franconian Switzerland in the west, but also the unique triangular construction of the modern steel tower with external staircase is a special feature The 25 meter high tower with 133 steps and a triangular viewing platform is 643 meters high on the European watershed.
