In the summer of 2013, in cooperation with the tourism association and the market town of St. Martin i. M. and owner Dr. Plapart the chain tower revitalized. A free-standing viewing platform was installed inside the ruins, creating the DONAUBLICK KETTENTURM. The tourist investment, 50% of which is funded by the EU as a leader project, can be visited and climbed at any time.

The chain tower (Lauerturm, Räuberturm) in Untermühl served as a toll tower in the 14th century. A chain was stretched across the Danube, preventing ships from continuing their journey. They were only allowed to continue their journey after paying the toll.

Hiking

Historic building, now accessible again. From here, through the centuries, the Danube was repeatedly blocked by a long chain for the shipping traffic, i.a. to cut supplies, but also to collect tolls. In addition, some Rastbänke and very peaceful views of the little-used Danube.
