Great afternoon experience with our kids ages 5,3, and 1.5 years on this hot July Friday afternoon. We parked basically as close as we could get without being immediately next to the tower (49.4522064, 8.1717571 right near romer rundwanderweg) and it took us about 15 minutes to get to it. Once there, we were very happy with the destination. The tower is beautiful inside and out, with an external staircase to climb to enjoy the view. The interior has shade and seating and beautiful stained glass accents. The exterior has benches as well as a great view. The walk to and from is gorgeous alongside grape Vines, all with, you guessed it,a great view. The 5 and 3 year olds were able to walk the whole way, while I carried the 1.5 year old most of the way.

Dennoch sehr schöne Rundblicke über Weinberge, Dörfer bis in die Rheinebene. Leider wird das Türmchen als auch dessen Umfeld oft vom Partyvolk heimgesucht ... was sich dann in extremer Vermüllung und Vandalismus niederschlägt. Nahezu auf dem ganzen Areal und entlang der Mauer muss man mit Glasscherben und Glassplittern rechnen. Insbesondere HUNDEHALTER sollten also große VORSICHT walten lassen (!). Ich werde den Flaggenturm in meine regelmäßigen Müllbeseitigungs-Touren aufnehmen. --- Wenn man sein Auto am 'Parkplatz Wachenheim' abstellt ... braucht man ca. 15 Minuten zu Fuß, um am...
