Booser Eifelturm, Wooden observation tower in Boos, Germany.
The Booser Eifelturm is a wooden observation tower located on the Schneeberg mountain in the Eifel region. Standing 25 meters (82 feet) tall, it features an open observation platform from which visitors can see across rolling countryside and distant landmarks.
The tower was built in 2003 by local craftspeople using a triangular base design. Douglas fir trees from nearby forests provided the primary structural material for the construction.
The tower serves as a central gathering point for the local community, connecting residents with their regional identity and natural surroundings.
Visitors climb 125 wooden steps across eight platforms to reach the covered observation deck. The structure is well-maintained and accessible to people with varying fitness levels.
From the platform, visitors can see the Nurburgring racing circuit, ruins of Nurburg castle, and volcanic cones scattered across the landscape. These geological features and historical remains make the viewpoint valuable for those interested in both nature and heritage.
