The Klausenturm is a 46 meter high observation tower in the Fichtel Mountains. It stands on the 835-meter-high Klausenberg, west-southwest of Mehlmeisel, at an altitude of 816 meters.
The tower was built in 1969/70 as a television converter. The viewing platform, which can be reached via 177 steps, offers a good all-round view of the mountains of the Fichtelgebirge such as Ochsenkopf, Schneeberg and Kosseine.

Incredibly beautiful views of the peaks of the Ochsenkopf, Schneeberg, and Kösseine. The Steinwald forest, with its highest peak in the Platte, is also visible.
