The 20-meter-high tower is affectionately called the "Wobbly Tower" by the people of Leipzig because it sways back and forth on windy days. After a walk in the park on a nice day, the climb up the numerous steps is worthwhile and rewards you with a new perspective and a panoramic view of Leipzig and the surrounding region.

Bridges are essential, as they would connect people in the same way as riverbanks.

Next to the lock there is also a rest area from which you can watch the hustle and bustle at the lock.

Unfortunately, the observation tower on the Wimberg was closed during my hike, so you couldn't see the surrounding landscape from above.
