Today's observation tower is already the third at this point and was built in 2005. You have a great view of Frankfurt, up to the Staudinger power plant in Groß-Auheim, large parts of the Wetterau and over to the Hausbergturm over Hochweisel. There are benches on the upper platform, but you can also have a picnic on the rocks in front of the tower. About 50 meters further there are two more benches with a table.

In addition to the beautiful view and the rest areas, there is another station on the Wildkatzen-Weg.

Hiking

In good weather you can see over the Taunus ridge into the Rhine Main area. In the other direction over the Wetterau there is also moderate visibility.

Hiking

This tower is always a worthwhile destination with a wonderful view. When the weather is clear, you also have a beautiful view of Mainhatten (Frankfurt a.M.).
Below the tower there is also a beautifully situated rest area and a very interesting rock formation.
