It is probably for the high position of the peak that the Air Defence has installed a Radar Station. This one is hidden by an impressive dome! It was built in 2011 near the tourist facilities.
There is easy road access to the summit, with a large car park, a restaurant and souvenir shop.
There are other interesting waymarks in the area.
