    Hiking

    Built in 1900 and no longer usable as an observation tower. The figures and images carved into the sandstone base are curious.
    Just below the tower is the remains of a quarry stone vault. The stair steps to the tower are not up to the normal norm. The step height is significantly greater. Try it; definitely worth exploring. Even if the bridge from there over one of the fortification ditches is long gone and the tower is in a dead end.

    The 12.6m high Bismarck Tower is enthroned on the so-called St. Peter Rock on the Schlossberg above the city. The square tower is one of a series of towers built in honor of the first German Chancellor, Otto Fürst von Bismarck. The square floor plan is 5.8m × 5.8m. On the side facing the city there is a relief of the imperial eagle and Bismarck's family coat of arms. On the opposite side there is an entrance and above it a plaque with an inscription and two coats of arms.
