                The observation tower offers a beautiful view over the Werra valley and Bad Sooden-Allendorf.
                The observation tower is free and accessible again after it was closed for a long time due to dilapidation.
                The newly built metal ladder staircase is very steep and has narrow steps, so be careful when climbing, especially with children.

                  It is much more than an observation tower! It is a replica of a wooden observation tower of the GDR border troops from the 1950s that stood on this spot. Many years later, the wooden tower was replaced by a BT 4. The observation tower in the Schifflersgrund border museum is also of this type.
                  The original concrete foundations with the fastening irons embedded in them were used for the replica of the wooden BT
