Schneeberg

At 1,051 m above sea level, the Schneeberg is the highest mountain in the Fichtelgebirge, a mountain range in Upper Franconia in northeast Bavaria, Germany. It can be readily identified from a distance by its squat tower - a relic of the Cold War. The summit comprises a jumble of granite rocks and a rock pillar on which the Backöfele observation tower stands and is still dominated by the relics of military installations including its Cold War listening post.
