      Since its inauguration in 2014, the meridian column has increasingly become a special and worth seeing landmark of Kleinolbersdorf-Altenhain. In good conditions, you can see the Fichtelberg, because Saxony's highest mountain is also located approximately on the 13th longitude.

        If you walk 78 meters west from the column along the edge of the forest, you will discover the exact measuring point for the 13th eastern longitude as a plate in the ground under a small fir tree.
