Maria-Josepha-Tower, Steel observation tower in Grüna, Germany.
Maria-Josepha-Tower is a steel observation tower standing 30 meters high in Grüna. From its platform, visitors can see the Ore Mountains, Leipzig, and the Battle of Nations Monument.
An original 22-meter tower was built in 1886 at this location but was demolished in 1953 due to structural damage. The current steel structure replaced it and has marked the site since then.
The tower is named after Princess Maria Josepha of Saxony, who married into the Austrian nobility. This name connects the local area to the broader royal history of Central Europe.
The tower is accessible via several hiking trails, including a loop route of about 4.5 kilometers from Pleißa. Visitors should expect moderate physical activity for the climb up.
The viewing platform sits at an elevation of 482 meters and offers distant views of peaks like Fichtelberg and Keilberg. On clear days, visitors can spot these far-off summits and sense how central this location is within the broader landscape.
