At the tower you can find information about Franco-German history. The view from the tower plateau is also worth the climb.

At the foot of the tower there is a table with benches and from above you have a beautiful all-round view of the Palatinate Forest. When the weather is nice, lizards cavort on the platform.

Also beautiful in winter, we had a great view with a fabulous bluing of the mountains. Great view of the snowy peaks. The hiking trails around it are often narrow and very beautiful!
