Open today on Sunday, it was busy. The aroma of the grilled red wine was just too tempting.

Germany's highest observation deck rises a proud 246 meters into the sky above Baden-Württemberg. Opened in 2017, Rottweil's new landmark has found a perfect spot in the Berner Feld industrial area – eye to eye and in silent harmony with the medieval church and fortified towers of the historic old town. The architect duo Helmut Jahn and Werner Sobek wrapped the upward-winding concrete spiral in a fiberglass fabric that bathes the tower in ever-changing light reflections depending on the time of day, year, and weather conditions, creating astonishing visual effects. The glass-enclosed panoramic elevator takes you up to the visitor level – Germany's highest observation deck – in just 30 seconds. From up here, you'll enjoy a fabulous view of the Black Forest and the Swabian Alb; on a clear day, you can even see the Alps.

The tranquility of the Neckar Valley Cycle Path gives the view over the valley a very special atmosphere, even if the occasional train roars by.
