레온베르크‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪16‬개의 산 정상

A breezy experience. It sways a bit up there, but it's worth it: the panoramic view is fantastic. I especially like the view across to the Pragsattel and out into the Neckar Valley. Please don't forget to drop in a one-euro donation. It's inexpensive and helps!

Looks like the little brother of the big Engelberg tower

Unfortunately, Leonberg's landmark is only open on Sundays and public holidays from May 1st to October 31st, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., which is a real shame! ☹️ You can also visit outside of these hours. If you know in advance, you should call the number provided in the photo.

The hill was artificially raised in the 1950s, mainly using large amounts of rubble. The new hill that was created was initially called Heiner by the locals and soon became a destination for excursions. After it was overgrown with grass and other vegetation, the new conical hill was given the new nickname Green Heiner because of its more pleasing appearance. It owes its popularity in particular to the good view in clear weather.

Since it does not rise above the treetops, it cannot be seen from the city

The large Engelberg Tower is one of Leonberg’s landmarks

The tower on the 480.60 m high Engelberg is 34.70 m high and 7.90 m in diameter. The now empty water tank on the fourth floor has a capacity of 72 m³. 123 steps lead up to the viewing platform on the fifth and top floor.

The small Engelberg tower was rebuilt - probably in 1674 - on the site of its dilapidated predecessor. In times of war, the Hochwachttum was manned by guards who had a line of sight down to the city from Engelberg, which had long been unforested. It was not until 1928 that the significantly higher Engelberg Tower was built as a water and observation tower. Until 1982 it served as an elevated water tank. It has retained its function as a lookout tower to this day. You can also get married in this special place. Before that, however, the bride and groom have to climb 123 steps. By the way, the Engelberg owes its beautiful name to its geographical location. It lies at the end of the ridge that runs northwest from Stuttgart. That's why the Engelberg was originally called "Endelberg" (Endberg) until the 16th century. Source: https://www.leonberg.de/smaller-Engelbergturm
