Bachtel Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

Worthwhile goal - no matter what the season. There is a good restaurant upstairs and the view from the tower is breathtaking.

"Western Style" panoramic restaurant with an American-style menu. Often visited by motorcyclists. Who likes. (Very good service during my visit!)
Alternative: all the way up to the Bachtel, where there is a restaurant next to the observation tower.
