Lake Felixsee Obser­va­tion Tower

A 36 metres tall obser­va­tion tower is located on the lakeshore of Felixsee near Bohs­dorf and in the heart of the UNESCO Global Geop­ark Muskauer Fal­tenbo­gen. The tower con­sists of a wood and steel struc­ture and it was opened on Octo­ber 16, 2004 (about 6.5 months after the foun­da­tion stone had bee laid). Con­struc­tion cost about Euro 360,000. There are three plat­forms at heights of 4.5, 7.5 and 30 metres (191 metres above sea level). On the first two plat­forms there are var­i­ous infor­ma­tion pan­els about the region and its geo­log­i­cal his­tory.
Admis­sion is free and any­one is wel­come to climb the 160 steps lead­ing up to the top plat­form 30 metres above the ground that allows for stun­ning views. Free park­ing is avail­able nearby. Access by bicy­cle is also very con­ve­nient, thanks to the many well-devel­oped cycle paths in the area.
