Burgberg Tower, Wooden observation tower in Frankenhardt, Germany.
The Burgberg Tower is a wooden observation tower in Frankenhardt that rises roughly 30 meters high. From its platform, visitors can look out over surrounding landscapes and rolling terrain.
The site had religious significance in early times and grew as a pilgrimage destination in the medieval period. The current wooden structure was built after fire destroyed the original tower.
The tower serves as a gathering place for hikers and nature enthusiasts exploring the countryside. Its name connects the castle history with the hilltop location where it stands.
Visitors can access the observation platform, though opening times change with the seasons. At the base of the tower there are picnic areas and a playground for families.
Architect Brüninghaus from Crailsheim designed the new wooden structure, creating a modern solution for a historic location. The rebuilt tower preserved the site's role as a viewpoint in the rolling countryside.
