The ascent is definitely worthwhile in good weather. The view after climbing the tower is indescribable. In addition, a nice descent awaits mountain bikers, such as the continuation to the alarm pole.

Is worth a trip. :-)

You get a great view when you get to the top. The way up was the last part. A hiking highway isn't for me, like highways.

At the foot of the Köppelturm, next to the entrance, there is a sign with the altitude of the summit. A great photo opportunity and “proof” of the climb 😀! Climbing the tower is free and you can enjoy a wonderful view. The few extra meters in altitude are worth it 😅.

A beautiful bike path leads past and you have a beautiful view as the forests have now fallen victim to the bark beetle🥴

At 545 m, the highest point in the Montabaurer Höhe. The name comes from an optical signaling system that French soldiers built up there in 1809. Edit 08/22: A place of worship with a cross and benches has been set up nearby. Nice view from there.
