Ludwig Tower (Hahnenkamm)

Highlight • Viewpoint

So far, the tower was always open. Should he ever be closed - the key is in the mountain inn.

April 6, 2025,Ludwigsturm Hahnenkamm – Hahnenkammpfad Runde von Michelbach

A nice tour, but the last section is extremely steep and more suited to experienced downhill riders. I can't recommend it, and I'd do the descent differently next time. But there are plenty of alternatives.

January 9, 2022,Hahnenkammsee – Ludwigsturm Runde von Michelbach Herrnmühle

To the Hahnenkamm today from Michelbach, or rather from the Hahnkammwerk. You can park your car here on weekends.
The ascent to the mountain restaurant was still easy. Good, easy ways. It looked different downhill. The mountain path is definitely not for winter hiking. Too steep, too slippery. From the lower half, the path could no longer be made out …

March 13, 2022,Ludwigsturm - Hahnkammsee Runde von Michelbach

A fine little round in the vicinity in the most beautiful late winter weather! ☀️ The climb at the beginning has a decent incline. It is therefore advisable to walk the loop in this direction, because the other way round you would have to go down there at the end and I would rather advise against it because it is …

November 11, 2021,Hahnenkammsee – Ludwigsturm Runde v Michelbach🍁🍂🌲🌼👌🏻 Herrnmühle12

It started with a lot of fog below. Wake up in the sun again. A dream when the fog cleared over the Hahnenkammsee. Nice break outside in the beer garden. And then on. The last 4th included a really alpine, slightly adventurous descent. (steep, leaves, damp and stony) the last 10 meters of it I somehow got down with extreme …

January 7, 2023,über den Hahnenkammsee zum Ludwigsturm 🥰

It's been far too long since my last visit to Hahnenkammsee, but this weekend it worked again. This place, provided it is not overcrowded, exudes so much tranquility and is incredibly relaxing. From the lake we went up to the Hahnenkamm, preferably on the paths instead of on the forest motorways and the view from the Ludwigsturm is a reward …
