周辺の山頂・トップ19

As the name suggests, it was the westernmost location of the Franconians in the past. But riding up it on a mountain bike is an experience. 550 meters of elevation gain in one go from Niederheimbach. It's also ideal for runners for a good workout. And also for hikers for the unique views of and across the Rhine.

An imposing tower and especially with snow and sun - it is fenced in but you can walk around the fence

Northeast of the Ellerspring summit is the 107 m high Ellerspring radio tower, which was built as a type tower FMT 11 in reinforced concrete. It is owned by Deutsche Telekom AG. TV and radio stations used to be fed into the cable from there. The tower supplied the districts of Bad Kreuznach, Birkenfeld, Mainz-Bingen and Alzey-Worms as well as the Rhein-Hunsrück district and Donnersberg district. Today it only serves as a reserve for TV and radio, but forwards the signal for cable TV via radio relay to the Bad Kreuznach radio tower for supplying Bad Kreuznach.

One of the many wonderful vantage points above Bingen, here you can see both directions of flow of the Rhine. Very beautiful!

The tower is closed again and has to be extensively renovated, it is uncertain whether it will reopen this summer, expert opinions have to be obtained first (Mainzer Allgemeine Zeitung of March 16, 2022)

The "summit" itself is not very spectacular and is marked by a stone stele (trigonometry point), where a single rest bench is available. Several deforested parcels provide a little view of the Middle Rhine Valley. But the large windthrow area east of the summit is more interesting.

The actual summit plateau is harmless and without any particular view - but still a worthwhile destination.

Very nice hiking route to the Franzosenkopf

Why don't you write the same way as you get to this trekking camp. Why do I have to do some research first

! DUPLICATE of the marking - original marking is called "tower"! Very nice observation tower, but relatively well visited. For mountain bikers, the trail up or back down is more of a highlight :) The tower briefly in the video at 9:48-10:25 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bRo8vTaEs8

This tower is the Alteburg. Very easy to reach by mountain bike.

The current tower was built from local wood between 1973 and 1975 for DM 60,000 and was inaugurated on May 1, 1975. The Salzkopf Tower had to be closed in 1997 because of considerable damage caused by carpenter ants feeding on supporting pillars. On the initiative of the Bingen CDU parliamentary group leader Franz Roos, the Salzkopfturm was able to be renovated, preserved and reopened in the years that followed. After his death in 2006, the tower was renamed the Salzkopfturm Franz Roos by the Bingen city council. In the years 2008 and 2009 further renovation measures took place due to static problems. The Salzkopfturm is freely accessible and has an open, 19.4 m high viewing platform, to which a total of 93 steps[3] of a wooden staircase lead. The covered platform is braced to the ground at the corners with steel cables and provided with an orientation board. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salzkopfturm
