Great panoramic view of the Hegau with its volcanic mountains and castles such as Hohentwiel, Hohenkrähen, etc.
When the weather is nice you can see Lake Constance, the Black Forest, the Baar, the Vosges and the Swiss Alps.
In the event of a thunderstorm, however, you should leave the tower quickly. 😉

Great view over the Hegau to the Black Forest and the Alps. You should not be afraid of heights to climb the spiral staircase. The steps are slippery when wet.
