Eschenberg, Mountain summit in Bavaria, Germany.
Description
Eschenberg is a 1042 meter high peak in the Bavarian Forest with steep slopes and rock outcrops dotting its sides. The heavily wooded terrain creates natural pathways and creates varied terrain for those hiking the mountain.
History
The summit once held a Bundeswehr military observation post called Fox 2, equipped with a transmission mast for communications purposes. This military presence has since ended and the location has returned to natural use.
