The Booser Eiffel Tower near Boos in the Vulkaneifel is a 25 meter high observation tower . About five kilometers southeast of the Nürburgring , on the east side of the Booser Doppelmaar in the nature reserve "Booser Maar", it offers a panoramic view over the Eifel to the Westerwald (northeast across the Rhine ) and to the Hunsrück (southeast across the Moselle ).

The tower was built in 2003 on the 557  m high Schneeberg near Boos. It has a triangular base and consists of 42  solid meters of Douglas fir , which rest on a concrete foundation. The ascent to the roofed viewing platform at a height of 21.5 meters is via a wooden staircase with a total of 125 steps and eight intermediate landings. The Eiffel Tower was officially inaugurated on May 8, 2004.

The Booser Eiffel Tower is almost identical in construction to the 28 meter high Vulcano information platform in Steineberg , which was also built in 2003, but is one step higher than this tower.
