In 1973, the telecommunications tower Großhau was built by Deutsche Telekom, rebuilt on the outskirts of Großhau in the district Düren. It is 121 meters high and well visible due to its free location. The vernacular calls him affectionately "Eifelhoer" (Eifel ear). From here you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Dürener valley.

The tower is (of course) on a hill. Once you are at the top you have a beautiful panorama with a view of the lignite mining area.
