Siblinger Randenturm, Television and observation tower in Siblingen, Switzerland.
The Siblinger Randenturm, also called Chläggiblick, is a steel and larch-wood observation tower on the Randen at 790 m above sea level in the municipality of Siblingen. It was inaugurated on 8 November 2014 and replaced an 1882 steel lattice tower. Ninety-nine steps lead to the platform at 19 m, overlooking the Klettgau, the Alps and the Swiss Jura.
The first Siblinger Randenturm, a steel lattice structure about 12 metres high, was built in 1882 and was likely the oldest steel lattice tower in Switzerland. It became unsafe and was demolished on 15 March 2014. The new tower, designed by Michael Hübscher, Patrick Birri and Raoul Müller, was approved by the municipal assembly on 5 June 2013 and inaugurated on 8 November 2014.
The tower is also called Chläggiblick, and the 2014 steel-and-larch structure replaced an 1882 steel-framework tower that was demolished on 15 March 2014. Next to it lie the few remains of the Hartenkirch ruin, and nearby are playgrounds, fire pits and a barefoot trail used by families.
The tower is accessible by train, car, bike, or on foot depending on your preferred route. A nearby restaurant and hotel make it easy to rest and eat regional food after your visit.
The tower stands at 790 m above sea level on the Randen ridge. Its nickname Chläggiblick refers to the view over the Klettgau, the valley below. The steel and larch structure was designed by Michael Hübscher, Patrick Birri and Raoul Müller.
