Quite high observation tower, corresponding to the view! Definitely worth the detour and the climbing!

The observation tower is a former border watchtower that was dismantled elsewhere after the fall of the Iron Curtain and rebuilt here. People with a head for heights and slim people have an advantage on the ascent. Better leave your backpack down, the top staircase is very narrow.

The tower has been there for more than a decade and is said to have been transferred from the former Iron Curtain to Sonnenberg, but it still does not appear on any map and is hardly mentioned in many hiking descriptions. Climbing the lookout, however, requires a head for heights, as the ladders are particularly steep and narrow, which puts many visitors off. The lookout is around 18m high.
