The summit region is dominated by two transmission towers of the Breitsol transmitter located on the south-southwestern hill , in the hamlet of Breitsol in the municipality of Bischbrunn.
The higher of the two towers is designed as a hybrid tower and is 124 m high. Its substructure is a free-standing steel lattice tower; its superstructure, also made of steel framework, is guyed with steel cables. Until December 2008 he carried a 7-ton TV transmitter in a GRP cylinder.
The lower tower is free.
