    With one euro entry you can get to the two tower platforms.

    A surveying column is set into the tower platform at the top. An information board explains their purpose.
    "The Royal Saxon Triangulation (here with the historical proper name) is a land survey carried out in the years 1862 to 1890 on the territory of the Kingdom of Saxony with simultaneous creation of a trigonometric network.


    The aim was to precisely record the national territory scientifically and geodetically and to create the basis for the production of precise maps by defining permanently marketed fixed points. "- de.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B6nlicher-S % C3% A4xian_triangulation

    Today we have satellites, but the view is still just as good.
    From the Lessingthurm station, heading clockwise from the north, the stations Ossling, Webro, Butterberg, Keulenberg and Olgahöhe were sighted.
    In addition, the tower also offers other views of Lusatia and even of the Bohemian Mountains. Signs on the top tower platform indicate this.
