    Anyone who wanders or cycles through Mockau must have seen him: the water tower or climbing gymnastics. Nice to look at and who has courage, goes climbing. 😉
    Tour recommendation for the onward journey: in the direction of Thekla to the Parthe.

    The water tower was built in 1907 to supply water from Old Mockau, and was used until 1977. Since 2004 there is a climbing facility. The tower is 40 m without hood.
