The Eschkopfturm, sometimes also called Ludwigsturm, is a lookout tower, which is located on the eponymous Eschkopf in the Palatinate Forest. He is a listed building. The Buntsandstein tower, which is an octagonal construction, is about 20 meters high. In the tower itself is a spiral staircase with 98 steps, which leads to a viewing platform. A rewarding climb.
