Tips

The fire lookout tower south of Grafwegen was built to monitor the forest during dry periods. The pine and spruce stocks are very sensitive to fire and in the event of a fire, large stocks can be destroyed in a relatively short time. This tower was first entered on the topographical map of 1967. Today the fire lookout tower looks disused.

Today the tower is no longer there. It was blown up on December 7, 2022.

Video of the blast:

But I was able to find a small elevation in the form of a boundary stone. If you get close enough, it looks like a tower.🤣

The tower is getting on in years and is apparently slightly crooked. The entrance is barred (although you should be able to climb over easily) and quite littered.
