    The Bismarck Tower is a striking observation tower located directly on the Schwarzatal Panorama Trail. It offers magnificent views of the surrounding Thuringian Forest landscape and is a popular stop for hikers.

      From the Bismarkturm you have a nice view. There are trails that are rather challenging but there are also some with a slight increase.

        A little further on, we continue our steep, serpentine climb over last year's leaves, some of which are very slippery, to the Bismarck Tower at 489 m.

        Built in 1895, it is the oldest Bismarck Tower in Germany.

        From the top, we have a sweeping view of the surrounding area.

        In the distance, we can see Schwarzburg Castle.
