At the beginning of October 22, the tower with the bird's nest was already there, the steel staircase and visitor platform were still missing...On December 4, 2022, the ceremonial inauguration with supporting program took place.With the new construction of the tower, an intelligent hybrid construction made of wood and hot-dip galvanized steel was implemented. The plans came from the engineering office Miebach from Lohmar. The production was carried out by the company Schaffitzel Holzindustrie GmbH + Co. KG, Schwäbisch Hall. 3 glued laminated timber supports made of spruce wood, tapering towards the middle, serve as the main supporting structure. The new building with a height of 31.1 m should achieve a service life of 80 to 100 years. The steel staircase with its 170 steps offers 9 rest platforms up to the viewing platform. The viewing platform resembles a bird's nest.

After the old one burned down and had to be demolished, the Idarkopf (746 meters) now has a lookout tower again. A steel staircase with 170 steps and 9 rest platforms leads to the viewing platform of the 31.1 meter high tower. Breathtaking views of the region await visitors from this new highlight in EdelSteinLand.

Today the tower is finished. Apparently only the acceptance is missing
