Position map

Sender Eys

The Eys transmitter is the highest transmitter in the Netherlands . It is located on a hill north of the village of Eys in the Dutch province of Limburg . A guyed, 94-meter-high tubular mast, which was erected in 1972, serves as the antenna carrier.

Although the coverage area is in Limburg, the programs can also be received in neighboring regions of Belgium and Germany, including Aachen , due to the height of the location and the proximity to the state border .
