The tower on the Taubenberg is a popular destination. The economy there has unfortunately become very expensive, here I would prefer something below the mountain. The trails up there are a must for ambitious mountain bikers.

history
A wooden observation tower was built on the Taubenberg as early as 1892. The tower, sponsored by a manufacturer, developed into a destination for day trippers from Munich.

Today's tower was originally planned as the final structure of the Kaltenbach spring connection of the Munich water supply. Since the subsoil in the valley was not strong enough for the tower, the Reisacher Wasserschlösschen stands there today. The city council of Munich therefore decided at the end of 1908 to replace the dilapidated wooden tower with this monumental building.

Work began in 1910. The new tower was built entirely from tuff stone, which was delivered via the Holzkirchen – Schliersee railway line and transported from Unterthalham train station to a height of 878 m in horse-drawn vehicles. The official inauguration of the observation tower took place on June 21, 1911. At that time it was in the area of the then still independent community of Gotzing.

The tower can be accessed via two counter-rotating spiral staircases. The Münchner Kindl can be seen above the entrance portal. [2] In the first few years, the city of Munich, as the owner of the tower, still required him to enter. Since then, visitors have been able to borrow keys from the Taubenberg mountain inn during its opening hours for a deposit. The observation tower is open from May to October. [3] Wikipedia
