The 42-meter-high Saarschleife lookout tower provides a unique view of the Saar-Hunsrück Nature Park and the Saarschleife Valley, with a view that extends as far as the Vosges. The tower is part of a 1,250-meter-long tree-top trail and was designed as a semicircle to minimize the impact on the surrounding nature. WIEHAG GmbH was responsible for the design and structural analysis of the timber tower using RSTAB. For more information, visit [http: //www.wiehag.com www.wiehag.com].
