Taubenberg Observation Tower, Wooden observation tower in Nettetal, Germany.

The Taubenberg Observation Tower stands on the Taubenberg hill at 81 m elevation near Hinsbeck in Nettetal. The timber-framed tower is 28.8 m tall; from 15.8 m a steel spiral staircase leads to the viewing platform. The original 1970 tower was 15.8 m high.

The first tower was erected in 1970, standing 15.8 metres tall. In the 1970s it served as a fire watchtower, but tree growth made it too low for the view, and from the mid-1990s it was closed because of its poor structural condition. A 2005 renovation raised it to 28.8 metres, with a steel spiral staircase leading from 15.8 metres up to the new viewing platform.

The tower stands on the Taubenberg in the Hinsbeck hills, and the youth hostel Vierlinden lies close by, so walkers on the surrounding trails often pass it. Its name comes from the hill itself, which rises to 81 metres. Since 2005 the steel spiral staircase above 15.8 metres has led to the viewing platform.

Parking is available near the youth hostel in Hinsbeck, making the site accessible by car. The wooden staircases are steep and require a moderate level of fitness, so plan for some physical effort and allow time to rest between levels.

The tower stands at 81 metres above sea level on the Taubenberg in the Hinsbeck hills. Its steel spiral staircase begins at a height of 15.8 metres, the full height of the original 1970 tower, and leads up to the viewing platform.
