Viewpoint at Collis Tower

For the best view, a viewing platform was set up in the vineyard a few steps below the tower. The distant view over the so-called Zeller Hamm is extraordinary.
When the weather is good, a hut next to the observation tower provides drinks and small meals. You can tell from the valley whether the bar is open by a waving blue flag.

Collis Turm (Collis tower)
High above the vineyards of Zell (Mosel) on high ground, you can see a red brick tower, built in 1906, former a shelter. It burns down in an arson attack. For this reason, the members of the Zell chapter of the then Mosel-Hochwald-Hunsrück Association decided to build the Collis Tower. The Mosel Valley Railway provided the building material for the tower’s brickwork. The tower, which can be seen from afar today, is about eight metres high and has a weather vane on its roof. The Collis Tower with its viewing platform is a popular destination for hikers who have a fantastic view of Zell and the Mosel valley.
