The wooden tower is in good condition and allows a wide view of the Raßnitz lake.

The Raßnitzer See, which emerged from the Merseburg-Ost opencast mine, which was closed in 1991, together with the Wallendorfer See immediately to the west, has developed into both a popular recreational area and an important nature refuge since the completion of the embankment design, greening and reforestation in 1997/98. Cycling and hiking trails with observation points lead around the lake.

On its northern shore, a covered observation tower offers the best perspectives of the landscape between the Elster-Saale-Aue, the Schkopau power plant, Halle and Leipzig. The lake is an important refuge for flora and fauna, and is of particular importance for numerous species of water birds both as a breeding ground and as a resting and wintering area. The dumping area between the two lakes, which was originally used for agriculture, was naturalized in accordance with the neighboring floodplain landscapes.

Since the completion of the embankment design, greening and afforestation in 1997/98, the Raßnitzer See, which emerged from the Merseburg-Ost opencast mine that was shut down in 1991 together with the Wallendorfer See immediately to the west, has developed into both a popular recreation area and an important natural refuge. Cycling and hiking trails with observation points lead around the lake.

On its north bank, a covered observation tower offers the best perspectives of the landscape between Elster-Saale-Aue, the Schkopau power plant, Halle and Leipzig. The lake is an important retreat for flora and fauna, and it is of particular importance for numerous water bird species both as a breeding ground and as a resting and wintering area. The dumping area between the two lakes, which was originally used for agriculture, was naturalized based on the neighboring floodplain landscapes.
