More than 200 steps lead up to the final platform of the over 40-meter-high observation tower at Pressecker Knock. On a clear day, you can see from the Fichtel Mountains to Thuringia.

The tower is open daily and free of charge.

At the base of the tower, there are bike racks, lockers, and plenty of great play equipment for young and old.

Always worth a visit. 5⭐
