The tower is not too high, but you have a wonderful view over the Rhine plain, the surrounding high moor and on the other side towards the Biberkessel.

The Bismarck Tower is located at the highest point of the Hornisgrinde, in the middle of the summit level. At the southern end, above the Mummelsee, there is also the Hornisgrindeturm on the summit level. The 7 m high Bismarck Tower has been in its current form since 1871. The former signal tower stands directly on the boundary between the municipalities of Sasbach and Sasbachwalden. In addition, there are now several wind turbines on the summit level. From the Hotel Mummelsee, which is located on the B 500, the summit level can be reached quite quickly and the view can be enjoyed.
