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.

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