July 4, 2026, Viewpoint at Merkur Tower

Beautiful 360° view, a little further down there is a bar/restaurant and right next to it you can see the paragliders taking off.

Very beautiful view from the Merkur, located 668 m above sea level, into the Rhine plain, the Vosges and the Black Forest

The tower, built in 1905, today serves as both an observation point and a transmission mast for SWR. A free glass elevator leads to the viewing platform at a height of 23 meters. From there, a panorama of approximately 700 meters above sea level offers views ranging from the Rhine plain across the Murg valley to the French Vosges. In addition to the view, the summit plateau is a center for hikers and a well-known starting point for paragliders.
