The path goes above the Katzenbuckelsee along to the ski jump and then further up towards the tower. We actually found small crystals there.

Cat hump tower

Well-preserved tower that can be climbed. The ascent is quite narrow and offers some viewing windows. At the top, a beautiful panoramic view of the Odenwald awaits you. There is enough space for several people.
