    The two radar towers are the trademark of the Great Arber.

      The two towers can also be seen from a great distance and are an orientation point! Often very helpful when hiking! 🏞️

        On the summit region are two Luftwaffe buildings with radomes. The facility was built during the Cold War against significant protests from conservationists so close to the Czechoslovak border to monitor air traffic in the Eastern Bloc. The device was put into service in 1983, originally with two radar antennas. In 1996, it was converted and equipped with a large-capacity radar RRP 117. Since then, the second tower has included the transmit and receive antennas for radio traffic. The Arber Air Defense Facility is operated as part of the Integrated NATO Air Defense System
