    The Barigauer Tower is an observation tower on the Barigauer Höhe near Barigau, a district of Königsee in the Saalfeld-Rudolstadt district of Thuringia. Built in 1912, it offers impressive panoramic views of the region from a height of 664.6 meters. On a clear day, you can see over 43 villages, towns, and famous mountain peaks from here, including the Schneekopf near Ilmenau and the Leuchtenburg Castle in Kahla. Next to the tower, there is a restaurant that welcomes hikers and visitors.

        Passing the town, we reach the Barigauer Höhe at 665 meters and the tower, which is closed for renovation.
        We are nevertheless rewarded with a beautiful view.
        From here, up to 48 villages and towns as well as a large number of mountain peaks can be seen.
