Salzkopf Tower, Wooden observation tower in Weiler bei Bingen, Germany
The Salzkopf Tower rises 24 meters above ground level, offering visitors a platform with views over Hunsrück and the Middle Rhine Valley.
Local pioneers from Kastel built the first observation tower at this location in 1899, with subsequent reconstructions in 1922 and 1975.
The tower received its current name in 2006 to honor Franz Roos, a local politician who worked extensively for its preservation.
The structure contains 93 steps leading to an observation deck at 19.4 meters, but remains closed since March 2022 due to structural damage.
The previous tower closure in 1997 occurred when carpenter ants caused substantial damage to the supporting wooden pillars.
