In mid-September 2024, the tower was unfortunately closed (again), as was the adjacent restaurant. There is currently no solution for the hiking trail (Calenberg-Harz) that runs through the garden restaurant. We walked behind the tower and then a short distance across the property. Fortunately, we didn't encounter any dogs.
