Sendeturm Jauerling, Transmission tower on Jauerling Mountain, Austria
The Sendeturm Jauerling is a broadcasting transmission tower located on Jauerling Mountain in Lower Austria with a total height of 141 meters. The structure combines a 35-meter steel foundation with an extended mast system that carries multiple antenna levels for signal distribution.
The broadcasting facility was built between 1955 and 1958 and became an important infrastructure for radio and television transmission in Lower Austria. Its completion brought reliable signal coverage to the Waldviertel region and surrounding areas.
The tower stands out in the landscape and serves as a familiar landmark for people across the Waldviertel region. Its broadcasts reach into homes and cars throughout the area as a constant presence in daily life.
The tower sits atop Jauerling Mountain and can be seen from various roads throughout the region. It is located in a remote area at the mountain's summit, and visitors should note that the facility itself is not open to the public.
At the tower's peak sits a specialized cylinder made of glass fiber reinforced plastic that measures approximately 25 meters in length. This material was selected to improve signal transmission while keeping the upper structure light.
