Even if the tower is closed on weekdays, it is a great lonely MTB destination. Nice climb and top panoramas on the way. Anytime again 😀

Interesting to see that the summit got its name in 1898 after a storm from a great all-round view (rimdidim) and that the forest here has again reached a stately height today.
