    The tower was built as an elevated water tank for Bell in 1929. During World War II it served as an observation tower for anti-aircraft defense.

    In 1982 the tank was shut down.
    In 2008 it was converted into a lookout tower, but the base continues to serve as a fire-fighting water reserve.


    Great all-round view!

        Small, but beautifully situated lookout tower with rest stop.
