    It is the landmark of the Hürtgenwald, the radio tower Großhau completed in 1974 - after three years of construction. In the vernacular, it is affectionately called "Eifelohr" because it was able to establish an important radio link on the north-south route between Hamburg and Stuttgart.
    Today it mainly serves many mobile operators as a highly visible and still important item in the Eifel.
