Sendeanlage Hochries, Broadcasting station on Hochries mountain in Frasdorf, Germany
Sendeanlage Hochries is a broadcasting station situated on a mountain in Frasdorf, equipped with multiple antennas and technical infrastructure. The facility transmits radio and television signals across Bavaria's Alpine terrain.
Operations began in the early 1950s, marking a major step forward in broadcasting capabilities for southern Germany. The installation became essential infrastructure for delivering signals to remote Alpine regions.
The broadcasting station connects remote mountain villages with regional news, entertainment, and educational programs. This allows people in isolated valleys to stay linked to the broader community through local radio and television.
The site is accessible year-round, though warmer months offer easier access to the mountain surroundings. The transmission facility itself is not open to the public, but can be viewed from nearby hiking trails and viewpoints.
The facility benefits from its elevated position, which allows signals to travel far and reach even the most remote valleys below. This geographical advantage made the location an ideal choice in the 1950s for serving the hard-to-reach Alpine region.
