Guided Story

Look at that striking tower in front of you. Can you imagine the days over 60 years ago when the first radio waves beamed from here across the region? Now, glance up. This 48.3-meter-high steel structure once made history. Turn slowly to your north. Beyond the trees, the Sirzenicher Bach meanders through the landscape. Looking southeast, you might spot the majestic Mariensäule peeking over the treetops. The late afternoon is the best time to be here when the sun casts a golden glow over everything. Enjoy the tranquility up here and imagine how this place was once the heart of communication.
