Lookout Tower "Glück auf!"

Lookout Tower "Glück auf!" on the Bühl hill

The Bühl hill, with its over 600-yr-old beech tree on the edge of town, has been a popular attraction since the end of the 18th Century. In 1886 a wooden excursion hall was built, which was replaced in 1910 by the construction of the Bühlhaus, which is a restaurant. In April 2008, the 34 m high tower was officially opened.

After transcending the 168 steps, you will be rewarded by a magnificent panoramic view from the 28 m high platform overlooking Eibenstock, the dam, the Auersberg Mountain and surrounding communities of Sosa, Schönheide, Burkhartsgrün and Hundshübel. The panoramic drawings of the view provide interesting additional information on the identity, altitude and distance of the most distinctive objects. The playground at the foot of the observation tower attracts younger visitors to stay longer.
