The small but well-designed observation tower is a secret tip among the viewpoints of the region of Northern Hesse. An ascent of the scenic and freely accessible tower is worthwhile in any case. The building with a beautiful panoramic view is located off the main tourist paths above the Schemmerngrund in the Stölzinger mountains. Politically, the area, like the entire Schemmerngrund belongs to the city Waldkappel.

Hiking

Wonderful distant views alternate with wonderful forest paths. The path has numerous shortcut options in case something does not go optimally.
