Small observation tower with interesting landmarks on the railing, for example sunrise and sunset on solstice days or direction and distance to Kehl, Strasbourg, Vienna or Lima. The view is stunning.

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.
There's always some wind up here.
