오버발메나흐‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪4‬개의 산 정상

넓은 쉼터. 오두막 바로 안에서는 경치가 별로지만, 몇 걸음 떨어진 곳에서는 훨씬 더 아름답습니다.

A nice destination to drive to.

The highest elevation in the western Taunus Mountains. The old postal road to Wiesbaden passes through here.

The second highest mountain in the western Hintertaunus is crowned by a summit cross. Greetings can be left in the summit book. There is also a TP stone right next to the cross.

The wing telegraph has been broken for some time and can no longer be adjusted.

Willi and Ernst also visited the tower: https://youtu.be/rucqpJBsFV8?si=FuZ2WGdvcd_k7GS3.

Spitzer Stein viewpoint History / wing telegraph Optical telegraphy for the transmission of messages according to the Chappe system. The French technician Claude Chappe developed at the time of the French. Revolution a technically feasible optical telegraph device based on the transmission of characters with the aid of pivoting signal arms. A swiveling crossbeam was attached to a high mast with two further swiveling bars at each end, so that different letters could be signaled with a code depending on the position. The telegraph stations were located between nine and twelve kilometers apart, depending on the nature of the terrain, so that the signs could be clearly seen with a telescope. Napoleon Bonaparte used this flexible and fast system to communicate with the various troops and probably also to organize the entire Rhine province. In 1794 a telegraph line was set up between Paris and Lille, which spanned 270 km with 22 stations. The transmission time of a letter or a coded message took about 2 minutes!
