Völkerschlachtdenkmal 
Description
The Völkerschlachtdenkmal (Monument to the battle of nations) was built for the 100th anniversary of the 1813 Battle of Leipzig, the turning point in the Napoleonic wars where Napoleon lost his first battle. It underwent significant restoration in time for the 200th anniversary in 2013. Today you can visit all parts of the monument including the viewing platforms at 61 and 91 meters. For an additional Euro you can cheat on most of the 500+ steps to the top and take a lift to the viewing platform at 61 meters. Along with the views there is also a museum by the side of the monument, and inside the monument itself a short video about the history of the battle and the monument.
