"Round tower on stone platform with stairs, the basement of ashlar masonry, upper floors of smooth limestone, lost former viewing platform, inscribed above entrance: 1883"

I could not find out anything about the builders and the reason. The tower was then free on the agricultural Betzbühl (479 m) with excellent views over the plateaus of the inner Jura.
The tower is dilapidated, inside a structurally great wooden spiral staircase led upwards, whose lower 3 m were cut out, in order to prevent a stepping on.
A renovation brings no prospect back, since the now completely reforested environment has overgrown the tower in height.

Old tower that has lost its viewing platform. Access is only possible on the ground floor, as the lower part of the wooden staircase is no longer there. Assumed year of construction is 1883 (inscription above door). It is really enchanted in the middle of the forest. Rapunzel is expected to let her hair down.

Rapunzel tower in the middle of the forest. Just like a fairytale, as Franconian Switzerland is like 😉
