    Hiking

    On Frauenberg hill near Sondershausen stands an extraordinary wooden telecommunications tower, a relic of the GDR era. Formerly used by the National People's Army (NVA) for radio and microwave links, it is now a rare sight, as most towers of this type are made of concrete or steel.

    The location at an altitude of approximately 411 meters offers not only a piece of technological history but also a fantastic view over Sondershausen, the Hainleite hills, and the surrounding forests. A worthwhile stop for hikers, technology enthusiasts, and photography fans alike. 🌲📸
