Observation Tower at Lake Gartow

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

If you still have doubts about the ascent to the tower, you can think about it again on a metal bench right next to it.

At the top of the tower, new NABU information boards reveal interesting facts about flora and fauna.

Highlight (Segment) • Structure
