🚵🏽‍♀️ If you'd like to let your bike roll down a nice downhill stretch, you should definitely tackle the climb up Büttelberg and enjoy the descent 🥳. But be careful ⚠️: it's an access road for vehicles to the transmission tower.

The Büttelberg transmitter is located on the 530-meter-high, heavily wooded Büttelberg hill in the Franconian Heights region. It has served as a broadcasting site for radio and television programs since 1952. FM radio, digital radio (DAB), and digital television (DVB-T) are broadcast. A 219-meter-high guyed steel tube mast has been used as the antenna support since 1969.
