    Fir tree (910 m) with the "lighthouse of humanity"
    The lighthouse of humanity has been on this summit since 2007. A symbol of peace: around 10 tons of stones were walled up for this purpose - from different regions and countries.


    Particularly beautiful, four individually manufactured glass elements glow at night:

    A world disc, a Christian cross, an Islamic crescent and a star of David send light signals into the world to call us to more peace and understanding among one another.

      Thanks to the great commitment of many voluntary helpers and sponsors, this building, based on an idea by Ralph Wenzel, could be realized on the Tannenriegel (Gibacht, Waldmünchen). About 10 tons of stones, some of which come from the most diverse regions and countries of the world, were laid in painstaking hard work. In the western direction, 4 hand-cast glass elements were used, which glow at night using solar technology. So, next to a disc of the world - an Islamic crescent, a Christian cross and a Star of David - send light signals into the world to call people to more peace and understanding among themselves.
