    The new, 16-meter-high observation tower, made of steel and partially clad in robinia wood, is currently under construction. The viewing platform is located at a height of 12 meters. The tower's design is modeled after a Roman watchtower.

    Update August 31, 2025: The tower is now open!

    Nothing's standing yet except the tower... so it opens on August 30, 2025.
    The tower is 16.5 meters high, with a viewing platform at 12 meters. The construction of the 23.5-ton steel structure cost €500,000. Vertical cladding made of certified robinia wood gives it a Roman look.
