Hiking

The obelisk, like the temple at the amphitheater, dates from the 19th century. It stands on the Springenberg hill. From here, there is a fantastic view of the baroque gardens. On a clear day, one can even see, in line with the canal, across the Rhine plain to the Eltenberg hill with the Romanesque Hochelten Abbey Church.

At the top of the obelisk is a copper (gold-colored) sphere, upon which sits an eagle with outstretched wings. This sphere is known as the "Copper Knob."
