Paulinenturm Restaurant

Highlight • Restaurant

The Paulinen tower is only the first tower, as far as you follow the Three Towers Tour, you have to divide the energy, but it is definitely worth the altitude to take

Paulinenturm (Touringen Stamp Point No. 344)

Highlight • Monument

When the weather is good, you can enjoy a wonderful and wide view. To get to the tower's platform, you climb more or less through a folding door.
