The tower is about 30m high and is looked after by the Swabian Alb Association, Neuhütten local group. You have a great view over the Weinsberg valley, the Hohenlohe plain, the Waldenburg mountains, the Limpurger mountains, the Mainhardt forest and the Odenwald. The key is available nearby, see gemeinde-wuestenrot.de/fileadmin/Dateien/Dateien/Steinknickle_%C3%96ffnungszeiten.pdf
