Been there several times. Good view, nice seating. For peace, relaxation, recreation and simply to hear what God has to say to us, a pause in the chapel is good. We always enjoy coming back here to ground ourselves.

The NATO listening post located here, the so-called Signals Sector F, was decommissioned in 2004. In addition to members of the German Armed Forces, US units were stationed there until 1992, and French units until 1994. It consisted of two towers and a complex passive reception and listening system. Since autumn 2014, the 75-meter-high main tower has been equipped with an external steel staircase and a 50-meter-high observation platform, and is open to the public as an observation tower during certain visiting hours.

It's fun to ride down there. I wouldn't recommend it for the uphill.
