Burgberg Tower, Wooden observation tower in Frankenhardt, Germany.
The Burgberg Tower rises 30 meters into the sky, offering views over Hohenloher Land, Odenwald, Steigerwald, and Schwäbische Alb from its observation platform.
The site held significance as a Germanic sacrificial location before becoming a pilgrimage destination in the mid-15th century when a shepherd discovered a water source.
The Swabian Alb Club maintains this structure, continuing a tradition of providing observation points for nature exploration in the German countryside.
Visitors find picnic areas and a playground at the base of the tower, with seasonal opening hours determining access to the observation platform.
The current tower, designed by architect Brüninghaus from Crailsheim, replaced an original structure that burned during World War II.
