While the bridge offers nice river views, the Weißtannenturm Kehl is an observation tower that offers panoramic views of the entire town.

Kehl is a small town, but its location near the border between France and Germany means it offers a great mix of traditional German and French cuisine. The most notable eateries in the city are Alte Zunft Kehl and Zur Traube.
