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.

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.
