Beautiful tower on the Eckkopf. Great view! At the bottom of the tower, local clubs host the numerous hikers / cyclists.

Official description of VG Deidesheim: The Eckkopfturm was built in 1975, after the first tower standing here in 1920 a storm and his successor in 1975, after only 14 months of service, an arson attack fell victim. The observation tower, which was now constructed of steel and was about 25 meters high, quickly became a hub for hikers between Bad Dürkheim and Neustadt. From the wine route almost all roads lead to the 516 meter high Eckkopf. From the Wachenheimer Valley or from the west via Lambertskreuz, the tower, which is run on weekends and public holidays by associations of the municipality of Deidesheim, can be reached on well-signposted hiking trails. However, the "conquerors" of the Eckkopf tower should be free from giddiness: 107 steps lead to the approx. 25 meters high observation deck, from which one has a unique panoramic view over the Rhine Valley and the biosphere reserve Palatinate Forest!
