The Urenkopfturm is a striking observation tower on the 554-meter-high Urenkopf, the local mountain of Haslach im Kinzigtal. Inaugurated in November 2014, the tower impresses with its special architecture made of massive Douglas fir logs and an internal steel structure. Those who climb the 183 grid steps will be rewarded with a spectacular panoramic view. Tower height & platform: The tower is a total of 34.05 meters high. The spacious viewing platform is located at a height of 33 meters. Panorama: In clear weather, the 360-degree view extends over the Central Black Forest and the Kinzigtal valley to Kandel, the Rhine Valley, the French Vosges, and even to the Swabian Jura.
