history
In the years from 1919 to 1922, artillery exercises by the Czechoslovak army took place there, after which several hundred craters remained on the southern slope.
In the years from 1943 to 1944, the Todt Organization built a Würzburg- type radar base, code-named Nebelhorn, on the mountain. The radar had a range of 75 km and was a major threat to US bombers. The only remnant of the system is one of the concrete bases for the radar.
