Krawutschke Tower, Wooden observation tower in Hürtgenwald, Germany

The Krawutschke Tower is a wooden observation structure positioned on Burgberg hill at 400 meters elevation with multiple viewing platforms. The tower extends upward to offer expanding views across the surrounding landscape at different heights.

A first lookout tower was built in 1911 on the ruins of Berenstein Castle. In 1933 a new tower was erected and named after the Eifel Club member Franz Krawutschke (1862–1940); it also served as a fire lookout. Heavily damaged in World War II, it was destroyed by a forest fire in 1945. The present tower was built in 1972 and inaugurated in 1973.

The tower is named after Franz Krawutschke (1862–1940), a locally known member of the Eifel Club. The medieval name Berenstein of the former castle on the hill became today's village name Bergstein.

The tower stands about one kilometre east of Bergstein's village centre on the Burgberg, reached on foot via forest trails. The climb to the top platform is 76 steps; the tower was closed from July 2005 to November 2006 for safety checks on load-bearing timber, then renovated at a cost of around €65,000.

On clear days, visitors can spot Cologne Cathedral in the distance from the platforms, a surprisingly far-reaching view from this forested hillside. The Nideggen Castle ruins and the Obermaubach reservoir dam are also visible from this vantage point.
