Aussichtsturm Irchel, Steel observation tower in Buch am Irchel, Switzerland
The Irchel Tower reaches a height of 63 meters with its steel framework construction and provides views extending to the Black Forest and Mount Tödi.
The current steel structure replaced an original tower built in 1930 by Jakob Zimiker, marking a significant upgrade when it opened in 1983.
The observation platform features informative panoramic panels that help visitors identify geographical landmarks and natural features across the Swiss landscape.
Visitors need to climb 150 steps across five intermediate platforms to reach the observation deck, located at 28 meters above ground level.
The tower stands near a designated fire pit area with multiple benches, creating a gathering spot for visitors at an elevation above Buch am Irchel.
