The 27 m high Murturm Nature Observation Tower stands in the middle of the alluvial forest, close to the Mura regeneration area. Spiraling up through the different "forest floors" ‒ the different ecological layers of the alluvial forest ‒ it is a very special nature experience. Climb the 168 steps to the observation platform that offers a thrilling panoramic view.
