Flaggenturm

The Flaggenturm is a stone structure in Bad Dürkheim, Rhineland-Palatinate, rising about 10 meters tall. It sits within a landscape of vineyards and forests, forming a distinct landmark in this varied terrain.

The tower was built as part of a network of signal structures that connected the Rhineland-Palatinate region. It was one of several structures designed to enable communication across long distances.

The tower's name comes from flags that were once raised there to send signals across the region. Today it serves as a quiet landmark where visitors can sense the everyday character of the surrounding area.

The structure is accessible throughout the year and sits along hiking paths that connect various historical sites in Bad Dürkheim. It can be easily incorporated into a longer exploration of the area.

Local people use the tower as a reference point when hiking through the surrounding vineyards and forest trails. It is less known as a tourist destination and more as a practical landmark for those exploring the region on foot.
