Irchelturm

Highlight • Viewpoint

At an altitude of 666 meters, the observation tower Irchel - in this form as a 63-meter-high steel structure since 1983. Its predecessor was built in 1930. You can climb the 28 meter high viewing platform and enjoy a great view of the Feldberg in the Black Forest and the Glarus Alps. At the foot of the tower are a few benches and there is a fire pit.

Irchel Tower

Highlight • Monument

Beautiful view of the wine country and with a clear view of the Alps. The view compensates for the steep ascent by bike to the foot of the tower. For the hungry, it has two fireplaces and different seating.
