The Gempen with its tower is probably the most popular local mountain in the region. Anyone who wants to climb the 28-meter-high tower (built in 1897!) must take one franc in coins with them, which allows them to climb the 5 floors. If the visibility is good, you can see as far as the Alps and the Vosges.
