Sender Amberg

Sender Amberg is a steel lattice transmission tower located on the Rotbühl mountain peak with a total elevation of 673 meters above sea level. The facility broadcasts digital television, FM radio, and DAB channels across the northern Upper Palatinate region.

A small FM transmitter first operated at this location starting in 1952, serving the early radio needs of the region. The site gradually expanded over the decades to support television and mobile communications.

The transmitter links residents across the Upper Palatinate region to local radio broadcasts and news. People in the area rely on these signals to stay connected with their community's programs and information.

The tower stands at the highest point in the Amberg-Sulzbach district on a mountain accessible by car. The paved road reaches one of the highest accessible points in the area, offering views across the region.

The transmitter sits at the highest point of the entire Amberg-Sulzbach district, reached by the region's highest paved road that is steep enough to challenge even racing cyclists. This remote mountaintop location has become a testing ground for ambitious riders.
