    - even from afar you can see another, widely visible landmark of Cadolzburg:
    the observation tower, popularly known as the "pencil".
    - built in 1893 by the Munich local railway company and the Cadolzburg market
    - Even today, every visitor who climbs the 143 steps is rewarded with a remarkable view

      The observation tower has been renovated
      and now shines again in beautiful splendor. I would say the pencil in the Franconian landscape was sharpened. 😉 Always worth a view.

        Always nice to know that once you reach the observation tower, it's all downhill.
