From the 20-meter-high viewing platform, there is a wide view over the Klettgau, the Black Forest and as far as the Alps.

The tower stands on the foundation of the keep of Randenburg Castle, of which only a few remnants are still visible above ground. The view from the tower is breathtaking! There are now several information panels about the castle. The moat is also still clearly visible. On the other side of the moat, there is a large rest area which appears to be well-maintained and popular during the season.

When we were there (on a warm, beautiful Friday), it was completely deserted and empty. It looks that way in many photos, too.

The 40-foot-high tower, originally made of wood in 1872, collapsed in 1894 and was replaced by an iron tower in 1909 in the ruins of the Schleitheim Randenburg. Today it stands 896 m above sea level.
