It’s tall. This thing is really quite impressive, even when the tower is covered in scaffolding. But to really appreciate it, look at an aerial photograph. Not Google Maps or Google Earth. You need a nice angled shot. It makes the surrounding area look 2D in comparison.

I spent two nights in the Hotel Rappen right next door, so I had a nice view from my room. Plus, the tower made finding my way back to the hotel quite easy. It is, as I said, very tall.
