The stone lookout tower with 82 steps, located on the Wolfsberg (581 m), is the oldest lookout tower in the Schluckenauer Zipfel.
A comprehensive reconstruction was carried out in 1996-1999 and 110 years after the foundation stone was laid, the viewing tower was ceremoniously reopened on 22nd May 1999. Since then, the tower has belonged to the town of Krásná Lípa, which has rented it out to the local hiking club "Klub českých turistů". The neighbouring mountain hut is still in private use, so visitors can only use the tables and benches on the small plateau in front of the lookout tower.
The tower's covered viewing platform offers visitors a magnificent panoramic view. To the south rises the closed ridge of the Lusatian Mountains with the striking peaks of Lausche, Tannenberg (Jedlová) and Kaltenberg (Studenec), while the wooded hilly landscape of Saxon-Bohemian Switzerland with Rosenberg (Růžovský vrch), Hoher Schneeberg (Děčínský Sněžník) and the Table Mountains in Germany stretches across the south-western side. To the north, you can see the peaks of the Schluckenauer Bergland and Upper Lusatia, while to the east, on a clear day, you can see the Zittau Basin and the more distant ridges of the Ještěd, the Jizera Mountains and the Giant Mountains.
