Alarmstange, Mountain summit in Montabaur Heights, Germany
The Alarmstange reaches an elevation of 545.2 meters and stands as the highest point within the southwestern edge of the Westerwald mountain range.
French military forces constructed an optical signal station at this location in 1809, which later influenced the mountain's current name Alarmstange.
The summit features a granite post that serves as a trigonometric point, marking its role in German land surveying since the nineteenth century.
Two telecommunication towers currently occupy the peak, while numerous hiking and mountain biking trails provide access from different starting points.
The mountain forms part of the largest continuous woodland area in Westerwald, alongside neighboring peaks Köppel and Lippersberg.
