Tower from the 12th or 13th century, but was not mentioned in the history books until 1420. The tower had a bell that was used in case of danger. The tower is open on Sundays and can be climbed via wooden stairs.

Hiking

The Ödenturm was used to protect Helfenstein Castle. It is higher than the castle and therefore has a greater all-round view.
