Eckkopf Tower, Steel observation tower in Deidesheim, Germany.
The tubular steel Eckkopf Tower reaches 25 meters high on the Eckkopf hill, which rises 516 meters in the Palatine Forest.
The first observation tower from 1891 collapsed in a 1920 storm, followed by a second structure destroyed by fire in 1973 before the current tower construction.
Local volunteer organizations from Deidesheim municipality take turns managing the weekend inn near the tower, contributing to community engagement.
Visitors can access the observation deck at 541 meters above sea level to view the Palatine Forest and Upper Rhine Plain in all directions.
German Federal President Karl Carstens selected this location during his national hikes in 1982, accompanied by Rhineland-Palatinate Minister-President Bernhard Vogel.
