Gaisberg Transmitter, Broadcasting station on Gaisberg mountain near Salzburg, Austria.

The Gaisberg Transmitter reaches a height of 100 meters and contains multiple antennas for radio and television signal distribution across eastern Austria.

The facility started operations in 1956 as Austria's first major transmitter after World War II, replacing a temporary 1953 installation with limited power output.

The transmitter distributes multiple radio channels including Radio Österreich 1 and Radio Maria, providing diverse programming to residents of Salzburg and surrounding regions.

Signals from this mountain station reach as far as Amstetten in the east and parts of southwestern Czech Republic, serving millions of listeners.

The transmitter tower houses a lightning research station operated by ALDIS, collecting data from direct lightning strikes since 1998.
