A rotting balustrade, dilapidated steps, “no access” signs – this was the sorry picture awaiting visitors to Ossinger Tower up until 2012. The lookout tower stands on a mountain of the same name – a 651 metre high peak near Koenigstein in the scenic Jurassic landscape of Bavaria’s Upper Palatinate region. When the decision was taken to restore it to its former glory, X-TEND was chosen as fall protection for the new lookout and radio tower, which can now be accessed absolutely safely.
