    Hiking

    A 43-meter-high tower stood on this site from 1936 to 1945.

    The tower was destroyed in an air raid during the final days of World War II.

    A model depicts the original tower.

    Hiking

    Next to the seating area is a model of the Eschenburgturm. The original was a 43m high wooden tower with a stone base which housed a mining museum. In the final days of the war, the tower was destroyed by American aircraft and the stone material was used for the reconstruction of the surrounding villages.

    Top views from the Eschenburg height with a top bench and seating. The place would be even nicer if the trash were also taken back home.
