Lovely view. And at the foot of the tower is a nice rest area with a refuge.

Fantastically beautiful view over the Elbe to Mecklenburg, which is best worked out with a hike on the Klötzie-Stieg (steep ascent to the Kniepenberg). Unfortunately, most people come by car.

You have to climb 84 steps to the platform of the observation tower. When you are finally up there is a great view over the Elbe to Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. There is a bench on the platform so that you can stay up there a little longer. At the foot of the tower there is a shelter, in front of which there are several tables and benches. The tower can be reached via Elbuferstraße from Hitzacker to Neu Darchau. From the large parking lot it is only a few meters to the tower.
I parked the car in Tiesmesland and walked to the tower. However, you have to be quite good on foot, as it is a steep uphill and downhill ride.
