A suspension bridge is being built near the EKS Tower in Rottweil's old town, and it is scheduled to be inaugurated next year!

Even without a bike, it's worth a trip - especially with children

Elaborately painted villa - probably with portraits of the residents.

Germany's highest observation deck rises a proud 246 meters into the sky above Baden-Württemberg. Opened in 2017, Rottweil's new landmark has found a perfect spot in the Berner Feld industrial area – eye to eye and in silent harmony with the medieval church and fortified towers of the historic old town. The architect duo Helmut Jahn and Werner Sobek wrapped the upward-winding concrete spiral in a fiberglass fabric that bathes the tower in ever-changing light reflections depending on the time of day, year, and weather conditions, creating astonishing visual effects. The glass-enclosed panoramic elevator takes you up to the visitor level – Germany's highest observation deck – in just 30 seconds. From up here, you'll enjoy a fabulous view of the Black Forest and the Swabian Alb; on a clear day, you can even see the Alps.

The 246-meter-high elevator test tower, opened in 2017, is specifically designed for the elevator technology of tomorrow: In the twelve shafts within the tower, which has a diameter of 21 meters, engineers can test elevators at dizzying speeds of up to 18 m/s. This tower will make Rottweil the center for the future of vertical passenger transportation.

The Rottweil Count's House near the high bridge was built in 1471 for the Counts of Sulz. It was severely damaged during the Thirty Years' War but was rebuilt. From 1813, it housed the publishing house of A. Herder before being acquired by the Volksbank in 1912.

There are still a few of these houses - but the one with the great tower and in this solitary location is particularly impressive.

Great view
