About
Quick facts: Rising 216 meters, this tower was the world's first of its kind made entirely of reinforced concrete. People often spot paragliders launching from nearby hills, adding a thrilling vista to the skyline view.
Highlights: The observation deck offers a 360-degree panorama that stretches from the Black Forest to the Swabian Jura on clear days. A charming restaurant circles slowly, letting guests dine while soaking in breathtaking city views without moving a step.
Insider tips
- Dress in layers: temperatures can change rapidly with altitude.
- Capture photos from the outdoor viewing platform for unobstructed cityscapes.
- Skip busy midday slots to enjoy quieter moments on the deck.
- Allow extra time for the revolving restaurant experience. Food is pricier but worth the ambiance.
