Once you have mastered the challenging ascent along the Höhenweg, you will see the Napoleon Tower on the hill between Ober-Hilbersheim and Sprendlingen.

In Napoleonic times, it was used to send the first short messages - the first text messages in history, so to speak - over a distance of around 12 kilometres. The signalling arms are based on the ‘Chappe system’, which was developed by the…
