    The tower is even equipped with an elevator and has two levels. The lower viewing level is protected by windows. You can go further up via a narrow staircase. This is also worth it, you simply see more.

      You can also stay here longer, e.g.
      - Enjoy the view
      - climb the tower (with elevator if necessary)
      - to bathe in the sun
      - Visit the excursion restaurant
      - To eat vespers
      - To watch paragliders

        The summit of Baden-Baden's local mountain has a lot to offer (lots of rest areas, a source of drinking water, a playground, restaurants and of course great views) and can also be reached by foot or pedal with the Merkur Railway. Accordingly, there is a lot going on here on days with good weather.
