          Definitely worth a visit - the climb and 192 stairs cost 1 euro.
          A plaque with corresponding places and sights is attached in all directions. The loop in the hall is of course the highlight. The kiosk was not yet open on the last weekend in May, but they were busy setting up, which can be expected to open soon. There are enough parking spaces, there is also a mobile home parking space nearby, and bike racks are available.

              great view from up there. If you pass the tower you should definitely make the effort and climb the tower (costs only 1 Euro),

                    If you think about taking a little change in your backpack, you can enjoy a wonderful view from the Saale tower.

                      a worthwhile view over the Saale and the castle, take 2 € for entry, downstairs there is a snack bar and toilets

                        Always bring 1 Euro, because in the tower is a hub that releases the way to the Saaleturmspitze only after throwing.

                              Entrance is via a coin-operated machine. Please bring some change. Views of the Burgk balancing reservoir, Burgk Castle, and the forests and villages of the upper Saale River.
