Here also runs the 4th stage of the Elbhöhenweg, which I can warmly recommend. All information about the Elbhöhenweg can be found at the following link: wanderbares-deutschland.de/wege/alle-wege/elb-hoehenweg-etappe-4-von-hitzacker-bis-neu-darchau-e82d5a097d (Status: 02.05.2026).

Also: the tower is, like the other wooden towers here along the Elbe, closed. You can still climb up on your own. However: if a plank breaks there, you will fall very deeply. Therefore: better not.
