Next to the TV tower is the radio tower. Unfortunately it is not accessible, but it is still a great building. The lower platform looks like a UFO.

As a place per se not necessarily worth seeing. But the tower is an excellent landmark, and located in a beautiful recreational forest, through which many hiking trails.
Therefore, it is good destination point.
Besides, everybody can watch the television tower ... and it's a bit impressive when you're standing in front of it.
