The tower is in the middle of the forest, but can be seen from afar.

It would be great if there were at least a small information board for visitors.

---------------------------------

The Hohe Brach is 586.9 m above sea level. NHN is the highest mountain in the Swabian-Franconian Forest Mountains and the Rems-Murr district in Baden-Württemberg. The masculine word (“der Hohe Brach” or “am Hohen Brach”) is also used by the local population, sometimes even exclusively.

The mountain is located in the sub-natural area of the Mainhardter Wald in the municipality of Großerlach, south of the road between the districts of Erlach and Grab and west of the hamlet of Hohenbrach. Its crest in the surrounding landscape largely formed by the rocks of the Keuper from the geological Triassic period, protrudes into the younger, overlying Lower Jurassic, from which the Psilonotenton Formation and the Angulatenton Formation are represented here.

On the mountain is the 133 m high Großerlach telecommunications tower for directional radio from Deutsche Funkturm GmbH, which serves as a landmark in the Swabian-Franconian Forest that can be seen from afar. The reinforced concrete type tower (FMT 12) was built in 1985 by what was then the Deutsche Bundespost and was the tallest structure in the Rems-Murr district until the wind turbines of the wind farm at Goldboden near Winterbach were built.
