    The Geiersberg, also called Breitsol, is 586 m above sea level. NHN the highest mountain in the Spessart. It lies between Bischbrunn and Weibersbrunn in the Bavarian districts of Main-Spessart and Aschaffenburg. The Breitsol transmitter is located on the wooded mountain.

    The summit region is dominated by two transmission towers of the Breitsol transmitter located on the south-southwest hill in the hamlet of Breitsol in the municipality of Bischbrunn.

    The higher of the two towers is designed as a hybrid tower and is 124 m high. Its substructure is a free-standing steel framework tower; its superstructure, also made of steel framework, is braced with steel cables. Until December 2008 it carried a 7 ton TV transmitter in a GRP cylinder. The lower tower is free.
    Until the switch to DVB-T on November 25, 2008, ZDF and Bayerisches Fernsehen (Franconia) were broadcast from there in analogue PAL.
    The program Das Erste (BR) came from the Pfaffenberg transmitter near Aschaffenburg, which also broadcasts radio programs. Since November 25, 2008, DVB-T has been available for the Spessart from Pfaffenberg. The Geiersberg site has been shut down with regard to radio broadcasts.
    About 300 m north of the transmitter, about 20 m west of the service road that runs there, there are three old concrete foundations in the forest, which may have belonged to an earlier military transmission tower or mast.
