Uhlberg, Mountain summit in Filderstadt, Germany

The observation platform is open to the public at certain times for visitors who wish to climb to the top. Clear weather provides the best conditions for a visit and enjoying the views.
The structure received protected status as a cultural monument in the 1990s, recognizing its importance to the region. Since then, children's artwork from local schools and kindergartens has been displayed on the tower.
