The lookout takes the form of a timber-structured cuboid, wrapped in bitumen sheeting in the tradition of old mountain cabins and held down by oak battens. Inside, two flights of a steep staircase ladder lead to the top platform at a height of five meters, equipped with a rest bench. It might not sound all that high, but it can still leave a few visitors breathless. Up top sits a bell. It chimes bim, bam, just for the joy of it.
