    The Great Arius is only a small and inconspicuous peak in the Palatinate Forest, but it has a military past. Today, there is only a radio mast on the former site of the radar station. Below it runs the Arius bunker with its 2 portals to the north and south, which are now filled in.

      The peak is only interesting because of its military past

        There are still remains of walls and stairs at the site of this highlight. The (current) red and white radio mast is located about 100 m further west.
