This is already the third edition of the tower on the Haidel. The first (from 1925) did not last 20 years, then it was swept away by a storm. Number two, built in 1979, got even worse: Already in 1998 he was so rotten, that he had to be demolished. Let's hope that the 35 meter high number 3 is granted a longer life. If the worst comes to the worst you should climb up quickly again, because the view is fantastic!
