The "first SMS" in history were written from the hill between Ober-Hilbersheim and Sprendlingen. The Napoleon storm with its signal arms is modeled on a historical telegraph pole with which the first short messages were sent over a distance of 12 kilometers in Napoleon's time.
You can climb up inside the tower and find several directional signs here: Donnersberg, Metzt, Bad Kreuznach and Mainz

Hiking

Wonderful hike without major problems, with a lot of forest, and great views from the zotzenheimer Horn and the tower
