Gauß Tower

Great view of the area from the tower.

The tower with a height of 25 meters offers a beautiful all-round view over the Geest landscape after the "ascent". The Moorburg coal-fired power plant, the Hamburg district of Blankenese and the Harburg mountains are clearly visible from here. A little side note for visitors with acrophobia, those who don't like "transparent" trellis steps will need to look ahead or up to the top level. The viewing platform itself is laid out with wooden planks and there is also a bench to sit on. If it is not too windy, you can enjoy the view very well.

Very nice observation tower on which you can let your gaze wander as far as Hamburg on a clear day. The tower is 25m high. It is named after Carl Friedrich Gauß who had already built a tower here in 1821 for the purpose of land surveying.
