Hiking
The watch tower on the Wartberg dates back to the 15th century and was once used as an observation post for the Pforzheim city fortifications. A spiral staircase takes you to the upper platform, from which you can enjoy a great view.
The total height of the tower to the roof is eleven meters. If you want to climb the tower, you have to get the key from the nearby restaurant L'Osteria (Wartbergallee 10). Next to the tower there is a playground for little hikers.
