There are many beautiful views in the Palatinate Forest, but this one is really special because many striking spots of the whole region and beyond can be seen from here (if the weather is good, of course)!

From the Luitpold tower with its almost 35 meters high you have in beautiful weather a beautiful panoramic view almost over the entire Palatinate Forest.
Alone the view down makes you with a fear of heights like me problems, but he is already since 1909 and is so massive that he is without problems for sure so long again. 😉
So nothing like the Luitpold tower and up with you. It is worth it ..

In good weather you can see very far in all directions. There are also some guides that show the direction of known places. For those who are afraid of heights: The tower is made of colored sandstone and does not wobble even in strong winds. The parapet is very solid and also has a railing.
