    Hiking

    The fire lookout towers in the “Die Haard” and “Hohe Mark” forest areas make an important contribution to fighting forest fires.

    The 39 meter high steel truss tower Farnberg is manned by a fire watch in times of increased risk of forest fires. It can be climbed publicly all year round up to below the viewing platform.

    Definitely a great view from above. But today was too lazy to climb up there ;-)
