Heiligenbergturm, Observation tower in Neuenheim, Germany.
The Heiligenbergturm stands 16.5 meters tall on Michelsberg hill, constructed from multicolored sandstone blocks with a square base transitioning to a circular design.
Built in 1885, the tower incorporated stones from the former Stephanskloster monastery, which operated from 1094 until its dissolution in the 16th century.
The tower marks a significant point along the 184-kilometer HW7 hiking trail, connecting the natural landscapes of Odenwald to the Vosges mountains.
Visitors can climb an internal spiral staircase to reach the 15.25-meter-high viewing platform, which offers views of the Neckar Valley and Heidelberg Castle.
Near the tower lies the Heidenloch, a 55-meter-deep shaft of uncertain origin, possibly dating back to Roman times as a water cistern.
