The transmitter Geyer , the former radio station Geyerscher Wald , near Geyer in the Saxon Erzgebirgskreis is a transmission system for directional radio , mobile radio , digital television ( DVB-T ), analog radio FM and digital radio ( DAB / DAB + ) built from 1972 to 1973 .
There is a 185.5 m high transmission tower as an antenna carrier , which can be seen from great distances and is therefore used by hikers for orientation; the tower is not open to the public. The transmission area does not only extend in Saxony, because it extends far to Thuringia , Bavaria and Bohemia .
Geographical location
The transmitter Geyer is located in the Middle Ore Mountains between the town of Geyer in the east and the core town of Zwönitz in the west. It is located about 300 m southeast of the summit of the highest mountain ( 745.1 m above sea level ) in the Geyers forest , which corresponds to the highest point of the Geyers area, between the 735 and 740 m contour lines . The Saxon state road 260 (Zwönitzer Straße) runs in the south from Geyer in the direction of Zwönitz to state road 258 past the transmitter. Just south of the spot where the leading to the transmitter forest road branches off from the main road, is next to a 731.8 m high point, a three-layer stone .
