Great views of the surroundings and to the Baltic Sea. The 20 meter high tower is part of the Panorama Hotel Aschberg, but anyone can enjoy the view from the platform. The chic restaurant is perfect for a break.

The Aschberg (Danish: Askbjerg; Askebjerg) is a 98 m above sea level elevation
in the Hüttener Berge Nature Park in Schleswig-Holstein. It is located in the municipality of Ascheffel.In good weather, the view extends as far as the Baltic Sea. The Nature Park Trail runs across the Aschberg, connecting five nature parks in Schleswig-Holstein for hikers.
The Aschberg was formed during the Vistula glaciation.The 7 m high Bismarck statue, designed by the sculptor Adolf Brütt and made of repoussé copper by the Berlin metal sculptor Gustav Lind, has stood on the Aschberg since 1930. It was reclaimed in 1919 from the niche of the Bismarck Tower on the Knivsberg near Aabenraa in North Schleswig at the instigation of the Knivsberg Society.At the end of the 19th century, a wooden observation tower was first built on the Aschberg, and was renovated a few years later. This approximately 10-meter-high tower was called the Kaiser Wilhelm Tower. It existed until around 1918.
A boulder with an inscription on the Aschberg commemorates Johann von Bruyn.In 2012 and 2013, the approximately 10-hectare site on the Aschberg was redesigned for 11 million euros. After three years of planning and 18 months of construction, a hotel with 30 double rooms, a seminar building with a restaurant,
and a roughly 20-meter-high observation and climbing tower were built. The climbing tower was opened,
an adjacent multifunctional area was prepared, and a youth hostel opened in 2014.de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aschberg_(Schleswig-Holstein)
