Without the tower, you don't see anything at first. Thanks to the tower, the view is gigantic

A wooden water channel leading directly out of the forest. This highlight is somewhat surprising, as you wouldn't expect it at all. In fact, the water flows through several channels.

The highest elevation in the Steinwald Nature Park at 946 meters. A viewing tower offers excellent views in good weather. It's more of a large area than a distinctive peak.
