    During the Cold War, the plateau at the Grosser Mückenkopf was equipped with a US Army radar station. In the immediate vicinity, the Army maintained two other camps at Braunsberg with numerous bunkers and tunnels and a missile site. This can still be seen today in the paved roads and paths far away from any civilization.

      I wonder what used to be here?! An asphalt road leads to the very top. The concrete wall around the edge suggests that there used to be a military installation here. Unfortunately, you don't have a panoramic view up here. But you can admire how nature has reclaimed this peak. A beautiful piece of nature.
