Aussichtsplattform "Silbersandblick" am Hochsimmer
St. Johann
Open today
The viewing platform "Silbersandblick" is located on the western flank of the Hochsimmer near the hiking trail up to the Hochsimmerturm. The 26 m² wooden platform is equipped with 2 large benches and was created in summer 2020 by Josef Ackermann in cooperation with the forest and officially handed over to the local community of St. Johann. It offers a fantastic view of the name-giving pit "Silbersand", the Nitztal, the surrounding communities up to the Nürburg and the Hohe Acht.
