The Altenberg tower is a newly built in 2007 with a modern and very attractive construction lookout tower on the Altenberg, the highest elevation of the Franconia region and the district of Schwäbisch Hall. The 38.3-meter high and located at an altitude of 564 meters above sea level Altenberg tower offers visitors a magnificent panoramic view of the Kaiser mountains of the Swabian Alb, the Hohenlohe plains, the Ellwanger mountains and the Ostalb. The Altenberg tower can be easily reached from the car park on the K 2633 to Hohenberg in about 15 minutes.

Update:
It's such a shame, but this restaurant has been closed for good for some time now.

A stone's throw from the Altenberg Tower is the village of Hinterbüchelberg. There you'll find the Gasthaus Krone (krone-kohler.de). You can enjoy delicious food here, including a cozy beer garden in the summer, and the beer is delicious! Closed on Tuesdays!

The construction was partially funded by donations. Steps and steel girders bear the names of donors. For the ascent, a small contribution is requested in a collection box at the bottom of the stairs to finance the upkeep (March 2021: adults 1 €, families 2 €).
