Towers to visit Germany

The Mouse Tower is located in the middle of the river. Shiver as you think that in this tower, the tyrannical Hatto, Archbishop of Mainz and reigning Prince, was devoured by his own hungry mice! At least that's the legend. What is more certain is that this tower was a warning signal for ships, because in Bingen the Rhine was particularly dangerous.

The Rheinturm was built from 1979 to 1982 by architect H. Deilmann. This monument marks the landscape of Düsseldorf. It is located on the outskirts of the south city center, at the entrance to the medienhafen, right next to the parliament building of North Rhine-Westphalia. It is more than 240 meters high, with a 180-seat glass restaurant located 172.5 meters above sea level and around its axis every hour. The M 168 Bar & Lounge is located under the restaurant at 168 m and on the observation platform at 164 m with breathtaking views of the Rhine metropolis. In fine weather, you can see up to Cologne Cathedral. The Rheinturm lighters have a unique function: spread over three different levels along the tower, 39 of these 62 porns form a decimal clock, the largest in the world. The two public elevators bring visitors to the different levels at a rate of 4 meters per second.
