Hasenbergturm AG, Observation tower in Widen, Switzerland.
Hasenbergturm is a wooden observation tower located in Widen that sits at an elevation where visitors can reach a viewing platform by climbing internal stairs. From this vantage point, people can see across the rolling landscape toward distant alpine peaks.
A wooden tower originally stood at this location beginning in the early 1900s and served visitors for many decades before being removed in the middle of the twentieth century. The current structure was built later as a replacement, restoring this site as a viewpoint.
The current tower, built in 2021, represents the local commitment to providing public recreational spaces in the Aargau canton.
The site welcomes visitors looking to climb and enjoy the views, with accessible entry and straightforward navigation. Plan your visit during daylight hours and bring water, as the platform exposure means direct sun can be intense at higher elevations.
The construction utilized local spruce and fir wood materials, with a total investment of 1,100,000 Swiss francs for the project.
