At 960 meters, the Jauerling is the highest mountain on the Danube. At the summit is the almost 40 meter high lookout point, from which you have a magnificent all-round view. Around the tower there are also several benches and tables for a rest, a herb garden, a café and a mineral exhibition. It is open daily from April to October from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.
