Riesberg Tower, Wooden observation tower in Murrhardt, Germany.
Riesberg Tower is a wooden observation tower in Murrhardt that reaches about 25 meters high. From its top, visitors look out over forested valleys and the surrounding landscape below.
The original tower was built in 1974 but suffered fire damage and was completely rebuilt in 2010. This restoration returned the viewpoint to public use.
The tower connects to local hiking trails near the Römersee area, where visitors can explore remnants of a Roman castle from 150 AD.
The tower sits near hiking trails that run through rolling forest terrain. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and climb the wooden staircase to reach the viewpoint.
Near the tower lies the Felsenmeer, a geological formation of sandstone blocks created by an ancient landslide. This unusual feature often goes unnoticed by those who visit the viewpoint.
