    Even when the tower is closed, it is very nice there. Lots of seating invites you to take a break, and there is a small playground for the little ones

      The Blue Turret (also called Luginsland or Eckturm) is located above the Baßmannpark near Bensheim and was built in 1910. The complex belonged to a landscaped in the 19th century English landscape garden. Nowadays there is also a barbecue and a playground. From the area offers a beautiful view over the Rhine valley to the Palatinate Forest.
