Kékestető TV Tower, Communication tower on Kékes mountain, Hungary.

The Kékestető TV Tower reaches a height of 180 meters and functions as a broadcast facility for television and radio signals across the region.

The first structure at this location was a 20-meter wooden watchtower constructed by the Hungarian Carpathian Association in 1889, replaced by the current tower in 1981.

The tower transmits multiple Hungarian radio stations including Bartók Rádió, Kossuth Rádió, Dankó Rádió, and Petőfi Rádió to maintain communication throughout the country.

The structure contains an observation platform offering views of the surrounding landscape and includes amenities such as restaurants and gift shops for visitors.

Located at the highest point in Hungary at 1,014 meters above sea level, the tower experiences distinct weather patterns that affect visibility conditions.
