Wasserturm Allschwil, Water tower in Allschwil, Switzerland.
Wasserturm Allschwil is a cylindrical concrete structure that rises 42.5 meters and houses two water storage tanks for the local drinking water supply. The building also features a public observation platform designed to provide views of the surrounding landscape.
Construction of the tower began in 1970 as a key part of local infrastructure development. The observation platform opened to the public in 1983, making it accessible to everyone in the community.
The tower serves as a gathering spot where locals and visitors connect while enjoying views of their surroundings. People come here to see their region from above and share the experience of being high above the landscape.
The observation platform is open from March to October on Sundays and public holidays between 14:00 and 17:00. Plan your visit for these specific days and times, as access is limited to these windows.
The observation deck sits at 38 meters height and offers views reaching Basel, the Black Forest, and the Leimental region all at once. Information panels help visitors identify the distant landmarks they can spot from this vantage point.
