Visited this place in Jan, 2023. Couldn't climb the tower as it was not accessible. However, there is a viewing place outside too from where you can get good views. The tower located adjoining a forest and can be accessed either from the forest or through a direct road. There are benches laid out outside, which visitors can use.

(Translated by Google) Ascent is interesting. And you will be rewarded with a great view in good weather. There is also a small playground. (Original) Aufstiegs ist interessant. Und man wird bei gutem Wetter mit einer tollen Aussicht belohnt. Auch ein kleiner Spielplatz ist vorhanden.

The Ludwigstower (Ludwigsturm) sits in the south of Darmstadt on top of the Ludwigshöhe which is also called Bessunger Hausberg. It is a wonderful spot surrounded by the forest providing a great view over the valley. When atmospheric conditions are right one can see the Frankfurt Skyline. Closeby is a playground for children and the astronomical observatory that is open to the public. On a sidenote, as students we attached a long Foucault Pendulum at the top of the tower and were thus able to measure Earth's rotation.

Great view and a lovely place to Visit

You can see skyscraper of frankfurt from here. There are many telescopes that can be used to see sun, star ...

The view of the city of Darmstadt is beautiful but unfortunately the tower and the area around it are closed off and we didn't have the chance to properly see this view.

Nice place to relax. It has a small bar where you can order food and drinks. It has a nice view over Darmstadt and a playgarden for kids to play. It's a family spot.

Nice play to hangout

(Translated by Google) A great tower. Here I was at the Christmas market in 2019 and it was a nice little market. (Original) Ein toller Turm. Hier war ich 2019 auf dem Weihnachtsmarkt und es war ein schöner kleiner Markt.

The tower is closed now, undergoing renovations. But the nearby pub is delightful and the view is spectacular.

(Translated by Google) There is always an excursion to Bessung's local mountain, True, as a small child there with the parents. Unfortunately, the Ludwigsturm could be renovated again, it shouldn't be a problem with the income of the city of science and the balanced city budget. Or we are always told a fairy tale hour of the super best science city of Darmstadt in Germany. And the reality looks very different from how it should be. (Original) Immer einen Ausflug wehrt zum Bessunger Hausberg Wahr schon als kleines Kind dort mit den Eltern. Leider könnte mal der Ludwigsturm wieder renoviert werden, bei den Einnahmen der Wissenschafts Stadt Darmstadt und den so ausgeglichenen Stadt Haushalt müsste es kein Problem darstellen. Oder wird uns immer wieder eine Märchen Stunde der Super besten Wissenschafts Stadt Darmstadt erzählt in Deutschland. Und die Wirklichkeit sieht ganz anders aus wie es sein sollte.

A Beautiful and quite place. The sky-line of Frankfurt can be seen faintly in the evening.

Great views of Darmstadt, and also the trace of skyline of Frankfurt am Main, when it is clear enough.

Cool place for having picnic outside. In addition, nearby cozy restaurant offers beers and snacks for people around. The view on Darmstadt is breathtaking!

Ludwigsturm is an old tower you can climb by paying one Euro at the nearby little restaurant. You have a spectacular view of the city and its surroundings from the top. Maintenance could be a little bit better as there were several dead birds in the staircase.

On a clear day you can see all the way out to Frankfurt and the Feldberg. They also have a lovely cafe here with good food, beer, coffee, and cake.

(Translated by Google) The Ludwigsturm is currently closed (Original) Der Ludwigsturm ist derzeit gesperrt

A nice peaceful place to hang out. Quite some walk from hotel bölle. Follow the tree signs like "s" to get there. A small restaurant is on the top where you can get a beer. Also the view of darmstadt and Frankfurt from here is breath taking

Easy hike for 20,30 mins from bollenfaltor. Good view to sit and talk

Just a nice spot outside and above the city good for a romantic view and hot chocolate

Amazing view!
