    Hiking

    From the tower you have a great view of the Meidelstetter valley.
    Directly below the tower there are so-called Abri's.
    These might have sheltered hunters in the Stone Age.
    This is not confirmed to my knowledge.

    Hiking

    An Abri (Masculinum; French abri; Swiss. Balm, shelter, shelter, shelter) is a rock overhang created by erosion, mostly in valleys of red sandstone or Jurassic limestone areas. Such shelters are also called half-caves (English rock shelter), depending on their shape also "rock roof", "rock niche" or "rocky ledge".

    A local word is Balm (Gallo-Roman) "Wikipedia"

    The Dachenstein Tower stands on the Dachensteinberg of the same name, which is 829 m high. From the tower you can see a long way to the north.
