The "Red Tower" is not a brick tower, but a red-painted tree stump at a historic crossroads of the Rennsteig. It is the destination of the approximately seven-kilometer circular hiking trail Roter-Turm-Weg R 31.

The Red Tower was probably a hunting rendezvous point. A plaque still provides some information about it. A "real" tower never stood here.
