Emmapiramide, Observation tower and artificial hill in Rozendaal, Netherlands.
The Emmapiramide is an artificial hill in Rozendaal topped with a wooden observation platform that offers views toward Germany on clear days. The structure rises above the surrounding flat terrain as a single combined earthwork and tower construction.
The hill was named after Queen Emma of the Netherlands and bears a memorial stone for ten people executed near this location on December 13, 1944. The site thus connects landscape formation with local World War II history.
The tower is located in the Veluwezoom area, where visitors experience Dutch nature through popular hiking and cycling routes. This tradition shapes how people engage with the landscape around here.
The location is reachable from Castle Rosendael by following Beekhuizenseweg and turning into the forest. The route is well marked for walkers and the observation platform is accessible via stairs up the slope.
On clear days visitors can see across into Germany from the top platform, making this an unusual vantage point in the typically flat Dutch landscape. Such far-reaching views are rare in this region.
