The NATO listening post located here, the so-called Signals Sector F, was decommissioned in 2004. In addition to members of the German Armed Forces, US units were stationed there until 1992, and French units until 1994. It consisted of two towers and a complex passive reception and listening system. Since autumn 2014, the 75-meter-high main tower has been equipped with an external steel staircase and a 50-meter-high observation platform, and is open to the public as an observation tower during certain visiting hours.

A beautiful route, easy to ride, and technically not particularly difficult. Contrary to the maps, I'd say it's rated S1 at best.

Great views of the Bavarian Forest and Hohenbogen from the tower. Admission is 6 euros. It's best to hold your backpack in front of you at the turnstile 😉.
