Bismark Tower

The Bismark Tower is a monument in the forest, one of over 200 built across Germany to commemorate Chancellor Bismark in the successful unification of Germany. We asked the Williams family to hike up with us, since it is near their apartment. It was beautiful, from the hike up to the view from the top.

 The plaque for Pluto on the Planet Path is here. Two birds with one stone.

Although it was cold and starting to rain, the view was gorgeous. And windy.

The walk down.

I have to remind myself to look up while walking around through town or in the forest. It is so lovely.
