The Steinknickle observation tower in Neuhütten was built in 1913.As a result of the effects of the war and after the autumn storms in the winter of 1955/56, it was demolished in 1956 and rebuilt on the initiative of the then Albverein chairman Georg Fahrbach, at around 30m, 5m higher than the old tower.It offers a great view over the Weinsberg valley, the Hohenlohe plain, the Waldenburg mountains, the Limpurger mountains, the Mainhardt forest and the Odenwald.(Source: Gemeinde-Wuestenrot.de)
