"The Mosisberg, whose eastern area is called Langerkopf, is 610 meters high. Until 2017, a 70 meter high radio tower, which was formerly used by the Americans as a directional radio system, towered over the treetops. It has since been demolished, and a smaller mast for mobile communications is still on the site. 14 buildings that belonged to the former military station were leveled. The terrain should be left to nature. It hasn't really spread yet. Not even where a road leads through the 1.8 kilometer long area in the form of a tube. [...]
On the Langerkopf, [...] renewable energy is to be obtained. State forests, the municipality of Hauenstein and the district of Südwestpfalz want to set up an open-space photovoltaic system with a peak power of 749 megawatts.”
