Definitely one of the most beautiful viewpoints in the Rems Valley. Here you can have a great rest, grill, enjoy the view or watch the paragliders in good thermal conditions.

Just wow 😳... The paths here through the vineyards are good for walking, you're basically in the middle of the wine-growing region.

The core tower, built in 1896 by the Stuttgart branch of the Swabian Alb Association, is made of sandstone masonry and is 27 m high. It is one of the oldest observation towers in Baden-Württemberg and was built at a cost of 18,000 marks and a construction period of four months. [1] The square tower has an open platform with historicizing battlements on which a small round tower rises; up a staircase with 158 steps. In 1930, a refuge was built on the east side of the tower, which was named after the Albverein functionary Anton-Entress-Hütte. Today there is a kiosk as well as a rest area, playground and barbecue area. The design came from the Stuttgart architects Heim and Sipple, the construction work was entrusted to the Mönch brothers. more: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernenturm
