Upper Palatinate Tower, Observation tower in Waldershof, Germany
The Upper Palatinate Tower stands 35 meters tall on the Platte summit, reaching a total elevation of 946 meters in the Steinwald mountain range.
The first wooden tower from 1972 was replaced in September 2000 with a modern structure designed by engineer Ferdinand Lehner from Tirschenreuth.
The tower represents a meeting point for local hiking communities, connecting visitors to the natural heritage of Bavaria through its strategic position.
Visitors need to climb 150 steel steps to reach the observation deck at 30 meters, offering views of the Fichtel Mountains and Karlovy Vary region.
The structure combines larch plywood with steel elements, funded through a collaboration between the European Union, Bavaria State, and local municipalities.
