Tour de Drince

The Tour de Drince is a 25-metre-high, metal-structured observation tower at an altitude of 390 metres, and a special stop on the GR5 international hiking trail.
Built in 1906 and destroyed by the Germans during WW1, it was rebuilt and inaugurated in 1932 by the Club Vosgien de la Vallée de l'Orne. The Drince Tower, with its 25-metre-high metal structure and 121 steps, stands at an altitude of almost 400 metres on the highest hill in the area, overlooking Rombas and the entire Orne Valley. From up there, you can enjoy a 360° panoramic view that stretches for dozens of kilometers, beyond the borders of Luxembourg and Germany.
The pyramid-shaped Drince Tower comprises eleven levels, each with ten steps. The first ten landings provide access to the wide, projecting platform that rises 22 metres from the ground to the exit. Like a parapet, a second platform of modest surface area is accessed by an eleventh landing, which raises it to 24.20 metres in the center of the tower. The guardrail on the upper platform rises to a height of twenty-five metres.
