Finally, after a long time, it is here again - the Atzelberg Tower!
It is now the 4th observation tower on the Atzelberg.
The last two predecessors fell victim to the flames (arson).
Now it has been rebuilt in 2023 as a fireproof, modern steel structure.

If you're not afraid of heights and dressed warmly enough, you'll be rewarded with wonderful views in all directions if the weather is nice.

To me, the tower is called the "Organ Pipe Tower." When the wind blows through, the tower makes music.
I can only confirm that I'm afraid of heights. It was my first time up there in windy weather and good weather; the small platform is quite challenging. I got used to it after a minute. But despite the railing, it's visually challenging and incredibly high, as you can also see right through it.
