    the tower is always worth a detour, and if you want to enjoy the great view just climb up.

      I was lucky enough to be there at a time with perfect visibility.
      Tower was open until 6 p.m. You can look far into the Thuringian country and into Franconia. Tower with history, 200 meters next to it runs the former inner-German border.
      You also inevitably get to the tower via the great little town of Lauenstein with its castle. Worth a trip.

        A tall lookout tower, built in 1963 on the west side, to look over to the poor brothers and sisters

          A great view from the tower in all directions.

            Very nice observation tower, unfortunately it was closed.
