A popular starting point for hikes (parking available) and a recreation area with a barbecue. It's quite unusual to see such a large watchtower. Several smaller Roman watchtowers can be found along the Rhine. One of them is located on the Rhine bank between Koblenz and Bad Zurzach.

I took a small detour through the forest so I wouldn't have to walk in the blazing sun. Wonderful and truly fascinating paths, though some are quite steep. Still, the view from the top of the tower is worth it; outstanding! (The coin box for entry is in the archway at the entrance—I couldn't resist it and, of course, gave a large coin!) On the way back, I also recommend taking path 4 instead of the busy road—along the tank barriers, including a seating area about halfway along the path.
