The cycle path is simply fantastic. Here you cycle between Grömitz and Kellenhusen close to the Baltic Sea and always have wide views of the water.

After the political changes of 1989/90, the intelligence work was discontinued. Naval Communications Sector 73 was dissolved in 1992 and the tower was vacated. In 1997, it became the property of the town of Neustadt in Holstein and has been empty ever since.[1] Meanwhile, an association, "Horchturm Pelzerhaken e.V." (Pelzerhaken Listening Tower Association), was founded but later dissolved. Commercial use by a local hotelier was also discussed. The municipality, under Mayor Mirko Spieckermann, points to the FFH area (a protected habitat area) surrounding the tower in discussions about its future use.[3][4] The tower remains empty (as of 2025).

At times, up to 300 soldiers and civilian employees of the Ministry of Defence worked at the site, operating around the clock in three shifts.[2]

The reinforced concrete tower was built in the mid-1960s on the Rettin meadows in Pelzerhaken. The telecommunications tower was part of a military espionage system (so-called "radio reconnaissance") designed to intercept radio communications in East Germany and Czechoslovakia along the eastern border of West Germany. It was also intended to capture other electronic signals. The tower's function was kept secret. A total of six identical towers existed; however, the other five were operated by the Luftwaffe.[1]
