The viewing tower on the Mittelberg near Nebra is 30 meters high and can be climbed free of charge via 176 steps. It was erected in 2007 and is located directly at the find site of the famous Nebra sky disk. The tower is tilted by 10° and serves as the pointer of a sundial.

We got there too early, and the cable ferry wasn't operating yet...so we took a small detour to get to the other side. It wasn't a problem, and the path was beautiful 🥰

The cycle path is relatively narrow at this point, especially when there is oncoming traffic.

At the site where the Nebra Sky Disk was discovered, a 30-meter-high observation tower now stands on the Mittelberg mountain. The modern tower is tilted 10° and oriented north-south, like a sundial hand. It provides a view of astronomically significant points such as the Brocken and makes Bronze Age celestial observations more comprehensible. The tower symbolizes the interplay of heaven, earth, and humanity—then as it does today—and is freely accessible to visitors at all times.
