      When the weather is nice, you have a great view of the Frankfurt skyline.

        The Hoherodskopf telecommunications tower is a 144 meter high telecommunications tower made of reinforced concrete on the Hoherodskopf near Schotten, the second highest elevation in Vogelsberg, Hesse.
        The standardized type tower FMT 2/73 was built between 1976 and 1977 by the then Deutsche Bundespost as a replacement for an older steel lattice tower. For decades it was by far the tallest structure in the Vogelsberg district until it was surpassed in 2008 by two 150 m high wind turbines in the Fleschenbach-Neustall wind farm near Freiensteinau.
        Due to the switch to DVB-T, the analog channels ZDF (channel 23; 1 kW) and hr- Fernsehen (channel 42; 1 kW) were discontinued in 2006.
