    "The Royal Saxon Triangulation (here with its historical name) is a land survey carried out in the territory of the Kingdom of Saxony between 1862 and 1890, with the simultaneous creation of a trigonometric network.
    The aim was to record the territory of the state in a scientifically and geodetically precise manner and to create the basis for the production of precise maps by establishing permanently marked reference points." - de.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B6niglich-S%C3%A4chsische_Triangulirung
    From the Cottaer Spitzberg one could observe the castle tower (Dresden) and Borsberg (N), Lilienstein and Zschirnstein (O), Schneeberg and Sattelberg (S), Dittershöhe, Wilisch and Gohlig (W)

      Unfortunately, the beautiful bench at the top no longer exists, as Spitzberg is private property and the owners did not tolerate this...
      Nevertheless, the view is always worth the climb, especially at sunset.

        A small highlight on a tour in the area, e.g. from Pirna via Goes and Cotta. The mountain accompanies the hiker all around. Above you get the column with the Hoher Schneeberg in the background together in one photo.
