The new, 16-meter-high observation tower, made of steel and partially clad in robinia wood, is currently under construction. The viewing platform is located at a height of 12 meters. The tower's design is modeled after a Roman watchtower.
Update August 31, 2025: The tower is now open!

The tower is 16.5 meters high, with an observation deck at 12 meters. The 23.5-ton steel structure cost €500,000 to build. Vertical cladding made of certified robinia wood gives it a Roman look.
