Lookout tower on Melchenberg. This is one of the few transmission towers for mobile communications that are equipped with a viewing platform. The 60 m high steel structure has a viewing platform at a height of 30 m, which can be reached via 168 steps.

Highest point in Groß Reken with observation tower. Below the forest there are beautiful trails for mountain bikers and hiking trails. Directly below the tower is a small downhill going on! Attention in oncoming traffic!
