Ludwigs Tower, Observation tower on Blättersberg hill in Rhodt unter Rietburg, Germany.
The sandstone observation tower rises 15 meters above the ground, featuring a square base structure with viewing platforms at different levels.
Built in 1889, the tower was constructed to commemorate King Ludwig I of Bavaria and provided panoramic views of the Rhine plain before tree growth.
The tower represents an important architectural element in Rhineland-Palatinate, recognized as a protected cultural heritage monument for its regional significance.
Visitors can access the tower through multiple marked hiking trails, including the Ludwigsturm-Rietburg loop and paths from Weyher in der Pfalz.
The tower stands within the Pfälzerwald-Vosges du Nord Biosphere Reserve, offering views toward the east and northwest despite partial tree obstruction.
