The original lookout tower was built in 1903, later unfortunately destroyed and rebuilt in 2007. The 28 meter high wooden and steel construction, which winds around a 100 year old tree, has 133 steps to climb. The ascent is always worthwhile, because the view extends over the Rosaliengebirge to Lake Neusiedl and even to Sopron and Bratislava.
