Atzelberg Tower

Atzelberg Tower (German: Atzelbergturm), also known as Atzelberg Observation Tower for long, was a 30.39 m-high (99.7 ft) German wooden lattice observation tower that was located on the summit of the 506.7 m-high (1,662 ft) mountain of Atzelberg. The Atzelberg Tower had a floor count of 6 floors including both the ground floor and the top. The Atzelberg Tower's top floor measured 30.39 m (99.7 ft) above sea level. The tower also had a roof which measured 31 m (102 ft) from the ground. The observation tower's top floor can only be reached through its 150-stepped staircases. The tower was used from the year of its construction, 1980, until 5 August 2008, when it was ravaged by fire that was caused by arson, as an observation tower on the top of the Atzelberg, which provided viewers and/or observers a good view of the surrounding areas.
