Chutzenturm, Wooden observation tower in Seedorf, Switzerland.

The Chutzenturm reaches 45 meters high and contains three viewing platforms positioned at heights of 15, 30, and 40 meters.

The construction of this wooden tower began in summer 2009 and required 980,000 Swiss Francs funded through lottery funds, municipalities, and private donations.

The tower incorporates local materials, including Douglas fir logs from surrounding forests and royal oak for the 234 steps leading to the platforms.

Visitors can reach the Chutzenturm through designated parking areas at Försterstein and Rungelenbaum or by walking from the village of Wahlendorf.

From the observation deck at 820 meters elevation, visitors see the landscape between Bern and Lake Biel, stretching from Titlis mountain to Moléson peak.
