As everyone has said - fantastic views of the surrounding area from a 100+ year old stone tower. We had a very tough time finding the place though, for mainly 2 reasons. First - “Bismarck Tower” is a generic term for the dozens of towers erected around the turn of the last century in respect to the former Chancellor. Navigating to this specific one was in itself a challenge. Second - our iPhone GPS took us on to the Landstuhl Army base (we have military IDs so we got on), but when navigation ended we had the base perimeter fence in between us and the tower! After driving off base again, we discovered a trail head just outside the main gate to Landstuhl (North side of the road, no more than 150 yds from the gate). From this trail head it’s about a 45-60 minute hike, moderately strenuous and mostly uphill, to the base of the tower. It was a very pleasant hike and as long as you keep following the trail to the right you’ll eventually get there. You’ll bee rewarded with a breathtaking view of the village of Landstuhl, Nanstein Castle, and the surrounding area. The trail we took in does continue on to the east, so I believe you can walk from here all the way to Landstuhl and Nanstein, but I can not verify.
