Hiking

As a result of Saxony's participation in the "Central European Graduation", it was necessary for the surveying of the state of Saxony to place trigonometric points in the terrain that formed the corners of triangles, because trigonometric formulas could be used to measure length if a base line and two angles were known . The so-called Grossenhainer base line with an extremely precisely measured length of 8.9 km, which stretched from Quersa via Grossenhain to Raschütz, formed the basis for this, to which all points of the later state surveying network were connected by directional measurements (triangulation).
