Here in the northern Black Forest, everything is just a bit wilder and different.....even the towers....

It is not just a classic observation tower, as there are already many in Germany.

Because the "Himmelsglück" can also be reached and climbed barrier-free. A panorama elevator makes it possible to travel comfortably to the top and back down again. This means that people with disabilities can also enjoy the magnificent view, which, with a clear view, extends in the east over the Black Forest, as far as the Swabian Alb with Hohenzollern Castle or the Stuttgart TV tower, while in the west the Upper Rhine Graben and the Vosges Mountains will come into view in the distance.

But in the future, Himmelsglück will offer its visitors even more. Of course, you can come down from the tower in the same way as you came up. Via the steps or the elevator. But there is another way! Who has desire can also use one of the two attractions of the forest flight Schömberg. Either one floats with the Blackforest Flyline nearly 500m comfortably through the forest down and for those, which have still correctly desire on an adrenalin kick, there is the Blackforest Flying Fox, with which you rush nearly 600m long head first down into the health resort park.
