Mountain biking
In the past, high points were used for national surveying because they could be targeted directly from a great distance with the naked eye or with binoculars

Hiking
As a surveyor and hiker, I like to go up high mountains and lo and behold, of course there is a trigonometric point here. With visibility to the Brocken and Frankfurt etc., a triangular network could be set up for surveying, which is still used today. To the right is the inconspicuous real TP stone, which today represents the security of the geodetic reference system.
