Erbeskopf tower, Wooden observation tower in Hilscheid, Germany.
The Erbeskopf tower stands at an elevation of 816 meters, making it a notable viewing point in the Rhineland-Palatinate region of Germany.
Following the demolition of the 1901 Emperor William Tower in 1961, this wooden structure was constructed in 1971 outside the former military restricted zone.
The tower forms part of the Saar-Hunsrück Nature Park network, connecting visitors to regional hiking paths and outdoor activities throughout the seasons.
The 11-meter tall structure contains three viewing platforms and remains accessible 24 hours daily, though it lacks wheelchair accessibility.
The 2011 renovation added the Windklang sculpture near the tower, creating an additional viewing point that integrates art with landscape observation.
