Guided Story

You're standing before a striking piece of engineering: an 80-meter-high broadcasting tower of Saarländischer Rundfunk. Initially constructed in 1960 at just 40 meters, the tower was later extended to enhance reception. As you gaze upward, notice how it towers next to the broadcasting studios. To the west, about 120 meters away, you can spot Schloss Halberg. A bit further northwest, around 129 meters from here, lies the tomb of Prince Heinrich of Nassau-Saarbrücken. This location blends history with modern technology here on Halberg.
