The historic observation tower on Mount Wilzen is 17 metres high and is one of the oldest metal observation towers. It is installed at an altitude of 653 metres above sea level.
Due to financial problems of the investor, the original tower, in 1889, was only 10 metres high. The tower received additional metres in 1989, during the centennial anniversary.
