After the Second World War, Konrad Adenauer and Charles de Gaulle showed great political vision with the Franco-German friendship treaty as the basis for the reconciliation process of the "archenemies". The hiker enjoys the wide view of the landscape. Two large stainless steel mirrors in a baroque frame allow you to play with changing perspectives at the Altenberg vantage point.
