Four «Randentürme» (viewing towers)

Like beacon fires, the robust «Randentürme» (viewing towers) made of iron, steel, and partly wood, seem to majestically greet each other over the tops of the tallest trees and across dozens of kilometres of landscape. The highest of these observation platforms, scattered across the canton, is located in Merishausen. The Hagenturm, with its height of 40 metres and 225 steps, stands almost 1000 metres above sea level. Like its 'smaller' siblings in Beringen, Schleitheim, and Siblingen, it is not for those with a fear of heights. At the top, a fabulous panorama awaits, stretching from the Black Forest to the Alps.
