Sunrise @ Humbergturm


An absolute must for every RPTU student. Just under an hour away from campus via narrow forest paths, this Lautrer highlight is particularly suitable for a sunrise tour of the tower. If you struggle out of bed early, pack your backpack, and make your way up to the tower with tired eyes and a headlamp even before you've had your first coffee, you'll be rewarded with a sunrise that quickly makes you forget your everyday worries and the tiredness of the still-young day. Pour your coffee, put on your sunglasses, and start the day relaxed.

Important: Check the weather beforehand. Pick a cloudless morning and start at the campus at least one hour before sunrise.

 

Important: especially in the lower area it is easy to get lost. If you have never walked this path before, it is better to start at Bremer Hof or take a local with you.
