About Bachtel Tower
Bachtel Tower is a landmark. Location: Hinwil, Hinwil District.
Bachtel Tower (German: Bachtelturm) is a 75-metre-high observation and transmitting tower located on the summit of the Bachtel mountain in the Zürcher Oberland region of Switzerland. Built in 1986, it has an observation platform 30 metres above ground level, offering views from Lake Zurich to the Black Forest in good weather. The structure replaced an earlier steel observation tower from 1893, which is now re-erected on the Pfannenstiel.
