Aussichtsturm Karlshöhe, Observation tower in Halver, Germany.

Aussichtsturm Karlshöhe is a brick observation tower located in Halver with a height of approximately 23.5 meters. The structure includes a viewing platform that provides views across the Sauerland landscape.

The tower was designed in 1892 by architect Gustav Mucke and completed in 1893 by construction company Brückmann from Halver. The structure was inaugurated by the Sauerländische Gebirgsverein, establishing it as a regional landmark.

The tower serves as a gathering point for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts exploring the Sauerland landscape. It reflects the region's tradition of supporting public structures for community recreation and enjoyment.

Reaching the viewing platform requires climbing approximately 100 steps. Sturdy footwear is recommended, and visitors should be prepared for the elevation, which sits at about 438.5 meters above sea level.

The local community raised funds over several years to preserve the historic structure. It was fully renovated and reopened to the public in 2020 following this dedicated effort.
