Taubenberg Observation Tower

The Taubenberg Observation Tower is a wooden structure that rises 28.8 meters and provides multiple viewing platforms at different heights. Visitors climb wooden staircases to reach these platforms and survey the surrounding landscape.

The structure was built in 1970 as a wooden tower and has undergone changes over the decades. Major reinforcements with steel elements were added in 2005 to strengthen its long-term stability.

The tower serves as a gathering spot for locals and visitors who want to step back and see the land from above. It reflects how much this region values outdoor activities and time spent in open spaces.

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.

From the highest platform, visitors can see far across the region including the nearby lakes and the border area toward the Netherlands. This expansive view on clear days shows both the immediate surroundings and landscapes that stretch much farther away.
