    Since I live in Oberbärenburg, I know this tower very well. You have a beautiful view of the whole of Saxon Switzerland and Dresden

    Hiking

    It's worth having 50 cents in your pocket, because with that you can see far into the country with the telescope.

    Hiking

    The 14-meter-high tower, at a height of almost 750 meters above sea level, offers you an excellent view far beyond the foothills of the Eastern Ore Mountains.
    The view stretches from Geisingberg, across Saxon Switzerland and Dresden to the Tharandt Forest and always leaves a lasting impression of the beauty of the surroundings. 56 steps lead to the viewing platform of the tower, built in 2004. There are three panoramic panels here, which enhance the wonderful view with additional information on the direction and distance of prominent points.
