The Hamerlingwarte is a 4.6 meter high observation tower built in 2001 on a ridge south of Gars am Kamp . It is listed on the ÖK 50, the waiting room was named after the poet Robert Hamerling . The local poet Josef Pugl described in the poem An Gars the view from the lookout on the place.
As early as 1929, a Hamerling observation tower was built in the south of Gars, but it had to be demolished in 1939. On the 100th anniversary of the poet's death in 1989, the square was cleared, but it took 12 years before the new control room could be built. The plans for this were based on the old control room. The costs were borne by the municipality of Gars.
The octagonal Salettl with a wooden shingle roof is 4.6 meters high and 4 meters in diameter.
The control room is 1.7 km by foot and 100 meters in altitude from the train station and offers a beautiful view of Gars am Kamp and Thunau opposite with the castle ruins, church and cemetery.
