The Wisent Tower
The Wisent Tower rests on 16 so-called earth dowels and is also founded on a concrete retaining wall. Its base area is initially 4 × 4 meters and expands upwards to 5 × 5 meters. The tower reaches a total height of 12 meters. The viewing platform at a height of 9 meters can be reached via 43 steps. The special highlight is the central double helix that separates the ascent and descent - a construction that is as clever as it is impressive. 

Certainly worth seeing.
