    A few hundred meters from the *Türkenbrunnen*, in a large clearing, is the Merkenstein observation tower. The tower is made of stone on the outside and completely made of wood on the inside. A wooden staircase leads up to the observation chamber. From here you can enjoy a wonderful view in good weather.

      A few hundred meters from the Türkenbrunnen is the Merkenstein observation tower, which stands on a wide clearing. The tower is made of stone on the outside and is built entirely of wood on the inside, with a wooden staircase leading up to the observation chamber. From up there, on a clear day, you can enjoy a beautiful panoramic view, making this place a popular destination for hikers.

      Howdy, I visited this mountain as part of my Dwarf Mountain Tours series: My goal is to climb every mountain in the Vienna Woods -> komoot.de/collection/2517195/-zwergbergtouren-im-wienerwald

        Old lookout tower (about 200 meters from the Turks Fountain), which stands in the midst of a dry biotope - a really quiet and beautiful "Platzerl" to stay. A worthwhile destination (hike) and also nice for a picnic (but only if the garbage is taken back).
