Roßkopf Tower, Steel observation tower near Freiburg, Germany.
The Roßkopf Tower is a steel observation structure standing 34.4 meters tall on Roßkopf mountain above Freiburg. The tower offers views across northern Breisgau and the Black Forest landscape.
The Schwarzwaldverein organization built this observation point in 1889. The tower became established as a landmark in the landscape and has remained a known destination since then.
The tower serves as a popular meeting point for hikers and nature enthusiasts from the surrounding area. Visitors use it as a destination for walks and outings through the nearby forests.
The tower is accessible through marked walking paths from Freiburg. Visitors should come with suitable footwear and weather protection, as the location is exposed and at elevation.
Four wind turbines were built near the tower in 1988 and generate power for thousands of households. This blend of a historic viewing structure and a modern wind farm shows how the location has been adapted for contemporary energy needs.
