The observation wood tower is located in the upper part of the Aargau Fricktal in the border area between the municipalities of Gansingen, Laufenburg and Mönthal. The highest point of the tower is around 698 meters above sea level and it is 24 meters tall. It is exactly on the same place where a tower was built almost 100 years ago by the Swiss Federal Office of Topography for measuring and observation work. With the many stairs to the top, it is a very beloved place for sports enthusiasts and walkers, especially in summer.
From the platform on clear days you can enjoy amazing views to the surrounding Jura hils, Black Forest or to the Alps.
It can be reached in about 30 minutes from the parking place, it was in late summer time on a unday.. Also from severalhiking trails
Thanks for your visit, have a great day!
