    currently is the tower accessible without a key (but: max 10 people)

      The Hursch tower is an observation tower from which the military exercises from the Münsingen military training area were controlled and observed. The old command status is still preserved above.
      From the tower you have a great view of the Alb and beyond. A fee of EUR 1 is to be expected. Only a maximum of 10 people are allowed to stay on the tower at the same time.

        For a €1 donation towards maintenance (ticket office by the stairs), you can climb the tower. The view is definitely worth it, offering a view of large parts of the military training area and the Alb landscape beyond.

        The limit of 10 people is likely intended to avoid overcrowding (there's not much space on the platform), but it doesn't really make sense from a structural point of view.
