The observation tower with its rope activity tower is a highlight of the Schleswig-Holstein State Forestry Education Center in Trappenkamp. A spiral staircase provides easy access to the first platform at a height of 13 meters. Those who want to reach higher can climb, still without a harness, over the net chimney to the second platform at a height of 25 meters – here, in Schleswig-Holstein, you're already above the treetops and enjoy a panoramic view. There are also various rope activities. Following a change of operator in 2017, the daily entrance fee was €15. NOTE: Web research 07.2025: "Team Tower is permanently closed."
