Built in 1981, and named after the former Mayor of Freiburg Eugen Keidel, the lookout built on the summit of the Schauinsland is the start of many hiking routes within the local mountainous region. From the viewing platform, roughly 20 metres high, Mont Blanc can also be seen, which is not possible at the base of the tower due to the ski resort Haldenköpfle just in front.
