Tips

This lookout tower is located where the control tower used to be. From the tower, the contours of the airport building are shown with bushes. Along the old runway, pools have been created that refer to a bomb crater from World War II when a Fliegerhorst was located here. From this tower you have a nice view over the airport. Here you can also see the "parked" wrapped planes.

Inside, an information board explains the history of the tower. At various heights, information is also provided, including information about the altitude at which bats fly. It's worth the climb.
