Today's observation tower is already the third at this point and was built in 2005. You have a great view of Frankfurt, up to the Staudinger power plant in Groß-Auheim, large parts of the Wetterau and over to the Hausbergturm over Hochweisel. There are benches on the upper platform, but you can also have a picnic on the rocks in front of the tower. About 50 meters further there are two more benches with a table.

In addition to the beautiful view and the rest areas, there is another station on the Wildkatzen-Weg.

In good weather you can see over the Taunus ridge into the Rhine Main area. In the other direction over the Wetterau there is also moderate visibility.

This tower is always a worthwhile destination with a wonderful view. When the weather is clear, you also have a beautiful view of Mainhatten (Frankfurt a.M.).
Below the tower there is also a beautifully situated rest area and a very interesting rock formation.
