Merzdorf Observation tower, Inclined observation tower in Merzdorf, Germany

The concrete tower reaches 34 meters into the sky with a 5-degree tilt from vertical, providing a viewing platform at 31 meters.

Built in 2006, this structure overlooks the transformation of a former open-cast mine into what will become Brandenburg's largest lake at 1,900 hectares.

The tower represents the renewal of eastern Germany's industrial areas, marking the shift from mining operations to recreational spaces.

Visitors can climb 173 steps to reach the observation deck, with parking available for cars and buses at the base of the tower.

This free-access tower allows visitors to witness the gradual flooding process creating the new Cottbus Baltic Sea throughout the year.
