Fuchsturm, Stone tower on Hausberg hill in Jena, Germany.
The Fuchsturm rises 30 meters high above Ziegenhain district, constructed entirely of stone with a spiral staircase leading to the observation platform.
Built in the 12th century as part of a castle complex, the Fuchsturm remains the sole survivor of four medieval fortifications that once stood on Hausberg hill.
The tower holds the Latin name Vulpecula Turris and belongs to the Seven Wonders of Jena, with numerous legends surrounding its existence.
Visitors can access the tower from the free parking lot at Steinkreuz, with entrance fees set at 0.60 euros per person.
The mountain restaurant Fuchsturm, established in 1868, stands as the oldest dining establishment in Jena, featuring a dedicated Knights Hall.
