    Bearing in mind that the Netherlands is pretty flat, you get a great view for miles around-and its really worth it ! It costs €4 per person, there is a contactless payment terminal right at the entrance. No elevator, so maybe not ideal for people who can't climb (lots of) stairs unaided. Lots of forest walks in the surrounding area.There's free parking and a really nice cafe nearby. Bring binoculars if you have them !

    Beautiful tower, nice view, only the entrance gate malfunctions regularly

    Very unique observation tower that turns the climb up and down into an adventure. To find a small piece of forest at a height next to the view is very nice.

    Beautiful view from a nice height. Unfortunately it wasn't completely clear, but I'm sure the view is even more beautiful when the weather is nice!

    On top of the tower you can get a good overview of Veluwe. Ticket is needed to enter. 4 euros per person. It is worth it!

    I would give this spectacular tower five stars if it didn't require a four euro payment per person, including small kids. The top of the tower is also part of the Veluwe in the shape of a tiny roof park. The tower also includes a scary, floorless rope net playground thirty meters above ground.

    Such a fun place to visit, especially with kids. This “crazy” tower is as high as the surrounding trees and gives you a unique perspective of the forest around it. There is netting to “climb out” of the tower, looking down at the forest ground way below. Perfectly safe, yet strangely scary.

    Imposing tower, with a mini forest on top. You can enter through a revolving door, and payment can also be made via PIN. The stairs can be slippery in damp weather. From the parking lot (Schovenhorst) it is a short walk through a forest. But you can also get there via a paved cycle path.

    Nicely built with a beautiful view. Ingeniously designed birdhouses and a beautiful toy (hanging rope) for children IN the tower.

    Very nice sight in the middle of the forest. Nice highlight of a hike. The tower is about 40 meters high and you can climb up stairs for an entrance fee of €4 per person. You can pay contactlessly directly at the entrance. At the top you have a beautiful, wide view. Trees and bushes grow at the top of the turn. It was really worth going there.

    Great view if you like heights! Then there are the exciting platforms! However, the price is a bit too high. 2 euros would be more appropriate

  • 4/5 Simeon A. 2 months ago on Google • 16 reviews New
    Quite a nice tower to climb on. Good view when you are at the top and while climbing the stairs there is also a nice net where you can look down. It costs €5 to get in, so in my opinion a bit pricey for that.

  • 4/5 Karina V. 1 month ago on Google • 15 reviews New
    Nice view. Pricey to get to the top (4 euros)

  • 5/5 Jeroen den D. 1 year ago on Google
    Great views from this tower, located in the middle of the forest. Many different viewpoints, even a scary mesh for kids to climb on while looking 26 meters down. I love that the platform on top also has trees on it. A bit pricy at 4 euro pp (you can pay by card), but certainly worth it. Also nice to walk around the paths through the forest, or have a coffee in the cafe nearby.

    Really fun place, amazing views and a it's just a cool experience. It's definitely worth the price!

    1. But tickets at the brasserie.. the credit card doesn't work there... Its a very nice attraction. A beautiful view with a nice big hemmk for the brave ones. We liked it

  • 5/5 R. N. 5 months ago on Google
    Vibe, food, service...all great. We sat upstairs and it was cozy.🥰 We got there around 10:30 and got a table without reservations. But if you go after 11:30, I would recommend making reservations because after 40 minutes, the place was already full. And they have 2 floors. Also very friendly neighbourhood and people.

    Fun attraction. You have to buy the tickets at a restaurant close by as a temporary solution. It was worth it. Great view.

  • 5/5 Nicholas R. 2 years ago on Google
    Unusual great find in the forest..not for those scared of heights 👍

  • 5/5 Marco de G. 4 years ago on Google
    Inside the forest you find this amazing designed lookout tower with on top a park with benches to enjoy the view. I really loved the bright green spiral staircases inside. There also is a kids play area with a net where you walk on and look down 23 meters to the ground!! Tickets cost €4 a person and you can pay with a bankcard or buy one at the tea house.

    Worthless. Lost eight euros, but the gate doesn't turn. If you don't have proper equipment, just don't enter. Very disappointed. Not recommended!!!!!!

😐 Nice walk in a beautiful walking area and finally walked past this. The stone with writing on it is barely readable. Our approach was that you must see it if you are in the area. Otherwise not very special.
