After you have reached the elbow (814m), you can charge your battery at the free e-bike charging station. Drinks are available in the kiosk next door. After paying at the ticket machine you can climb the tower.

Great view towards Staufelsberg/Engelsberg and Wartburgkreis. To enjoy the whole view, you should go on the sail.
