Best Hikes to Angelburg Telecommunications Tower
Tips
Until 2011, the telecommunications tower was by far the tallest structure in the Lahn-Dill district. It was replaced by the Hohenahr wind farm at the turn of the year 2012/2013. When the DVB-T1 transmitter Angelburg was switched off in April 2018, the transmission technology in the upper part became superfluous. This was dismantled on October 21, 2020 by the Swiss specialist company Heliswiss International AG with the help of a Kamow Ka-32 transport helicopter. The dismantling of the two GRP cylinders reduces the height of the structure by approx. 15 meters.
