You should definitely visit the Carlsturm when you are out and about in the southern Harz. I particularly liked the rise of Sophienhof very much. However, you should be free from giddiness, because even then the 50 meter high tower is very impressive. However, once you've made the 155 steps, the view is phenomenal! Only flying is more beautiful.

There are people with fear of heights and there are those without. Unfortunately, I am one of the first. But! If you weren't upstairs, you can't enjoy the view, don't overcome your fear and, according to my guide, doesn't get a stamp. So! High with you and just enjoying the view :-)
