The "snail noodle" is called the Zeppelinturm, is located on the Ebersberg and offers a beautiful panoramic view including a glimpse of the Limburg monastery ruins. There are also a few benches downstairs to rest on.

The Celts from the Limburg mountain and the valley settlement in Hausen buried their dead here. After the fire, the "Schneckennudel" lookout point, also known as the "Zeppelin Tower", was rebuilt in 1974.
The building, formerly known as the “Malakoffturm” (Kriem War), was given the name “Zeppelinturm” before the First World War, when the first zeppelin was sighted over Bad Dürkheim. The vernacular refers to it as "snail noodle" because of its spiral-shaped rise, a rarity among viewpoints.

Great view towards the Palatinate Forest. Especially great at sunset / evening light. The snail noodle is officially called the Zeppelin tower. Goes back to a flyover of Graf Zeppelin with his airship. At that time, numerous onlookers wandered to the tower.
