Popular observation tower. Climbable. Highest half-timbered observation tower in Europe. Good views. A box of Touringen stamps is located on the tower.

The Frauenberg was probably already a cult site, a sacrificial site, and a castle-fortification complex with four sections in pre-Christian times. During the GDR era, an East German radio tower of the NVA (National People's Army) was located on the mountain plateau. Today, you can enjoy the views "of the countryside," which are also well explained by numerous information panels.
