Bismarck Tower Naumburg

Highlight • Monument

Unfortunately the restaurant is closed and if the sign is correct it also says it's for sale.
A visit is still worthwhile because of the great views.

Beautiful hike from Bad Kösen to the viewpoint and further. Very warm and muggy, but bearable. Lots of animals seen e.g. sand lizards and flying stag beetles, others are in the photos. In Flemmingen local festival with loud brass music. Further west we were treated to music from the wine mile.
