The tower was built by Vodafone in 2009 for mobile communications, but was opened to the public in 2010. It stands almost above the motorway tunnel. The entire tower is 30 m high, the viewing platform is located at a height of 20 m.
From the tower there is a beautiful view of the Erzgebirge as well as the Elbe Valley and the surrounding mountains of the Bohemian Central Mountains.
