Tips from the Community
On weekends, a hut is run by the Swabian Alb Association. The view from the top of the tower is super-prima-class-great. At the highest point - on the tower. It doesn't get any higher there.

A very beautiful gorge, into which you descend along a small path. The path is lined with several rocks, steep walls, and constantly changing views of the gorge. Especially in the colder months, you'll be practically alone here.

It was built in 1932 by the Swabian Alb Association from wood on a concrete base and offers excellent panoramic views. From the platform you can overlook the valleys of the Neckar, Rems and Jagst, as well as see the Swabian Alb and the Northern Black Forest. The tower is open on Sundays and public holidays from the beginning of April to the end of October.
