Rathmannsdorf observation tower
The 15-metre-high viewing tower was built in 2007 and is the only barrier-free one in Germany. The viewing platform can be reached on foot via 82 steps or comfortably by elevator. Once at the top, you can enjoy an unforgettable panoramic view of almost all the famous rock massifs of Saxon Switzerland (Elbe Sandstone Mountains) and parts of Bohemian Switzerland. There is a water treading pool and a water arm pool at the foot of the tower.
