Fernsehturm Heidelberg

[citation needed] Because of its exposed location on the crest of the hill the tower itself is only 82 meters high.

The Heidelberg TV tower has an open-air observation deck 30 metres up its height, which can be reached by an elevator.

The observation deck is now permanently closed for visitors due to safety concerns.

The sale of the tower sealed the fate of the observation deck which used to enable tourist a spectacular 360 degrees view of the region.

Also digital radio multiplexes (DAB+) are broadcast from this tower on DAB channels 5C, 9B, 9D, and 11B.
