The "Nagelsche" surveying column stood on the summit of the Beutenberg until around the middle of the 20th century. Old photo documents are reminiscent of its use for land surveying in the 19th century. With the mining of the "Hilbersdorfers Porphyrtuffs", the summit of the Beutenberg was literally dismantled and later backfilled. The exact coordinates of the former location are known and whoever goes to the summit today will find a wild mole, a salt lick and a high seat, between a chaotic-looking jumble of broken trees and mighty brambles. An inconspicuous path leads from the former location of the Beuteberg tower in an easterly direction to the actual summit, from which, however, no all-round view through vegetation is possible.
At times when a panoramic view was still possible and station 92 Beutenberg was used for surveying, stations 1st order no.13 (Udohöhe) and no.16 (Pfaffenberg) and stations 2nd order no.91 were built from here (Dittersdorfer Höhe), No. 93 (Taurastein) and No. 94 (Sachsenburg) targeted. The Royal Saxon Triangulation was considered the most accurate land surveying in its time and was a technical masterpiece.
The nearby Zeisigwald offers a variety of recreational opportunities and it is thanks to the volcanic activity of the area around 240 million years ago that the people of Chemnitz can show their "Petrified Forest" to an interested public.

Once around the crest, a beautiful single trail leads through the forest. I recommend turning north onto Beutenbergweg and then left at the next junction into the forest. Nice flow. Always something to climb and maybe even a tree across. But a lot of fun.
