Altenberg TowerEdit

At the summit is the Altenberg Tower, a 38.3-metre-high observation tower The tower was opened on 7 October 2007 and measures 36 metres from the ground to the observation platform. As a result the fully covered viewing point is at a height of about 600 m.

AccessEdit

  • From the newly built visitor car park east of Hohenberg, a gravelled path runs for a good 300 metres directly to the summit.
  • A much longer and higher, but less steep path runs fromd the farm of Altenberg about 500 metres south of Hohenberg.
  • In addition, various paths run from the east from the road between Hohenberg and Wegstetten as from the south from the Abtsklinge.
