Herzbergturm

The Herzberg Tower is a popular destination for cyclists and hikers. Comparable to the neighboring Saalburg, the tower owes itself to the interest of Kaiser Wilhelm II, who was enthusiastic about antiquity: he encouraged the Taunus Club to build a lookout tower there. In order to appreciate the proximity of the Limes and the Roman fort, the shape of the tower was modeled on a Roman Limes watchtower.

The view from the tower is really great.
The restaurant with the outdoor terrace is also good!

The foundation stone for the Herzberg Tower was laid on July 20, 1910. For this purpose, a 70 x 20 cm document with a picture of the tower and the emperor's handwritten signature with the word "Approved" was walled into the eastern corner of the tower. On June 30, 1911, the building was ceremoniously inaugurated with fanfares from the tower, songs from a male choir and speeches.
At 24.5 m high, built from Taunus quartzite boulders, a wooden roof made of Taunus oaks and a 6.60 m x 6.60 m viewing platform, it stands here as a direct competitor to the Feldberg plateau. The lower third of the tower height was covered with a massive protective hall with earth embankment. The path to the viewing rondel leads over 110 steps
