Its summit towers over the Vienna Basin by around 320 m. From the Stefaniewarte , which is located at the highest point of the mountain, you can also see parts of Lower Austria . Next to the observation tower, which carried radio broadcasting antennas from 1953 to 1956, there is a 165 m high, guyed tubular steel mast belonging to the ORF, which is used to distribute TV and FM programs as well as for microwave radio purposes. This transmission mast, built in 1974 , supports high-altitude operating rooms (which is atypical for such constructions) and has shaped the appearance of the Kahlenberg ever since.
