With the summit cross on the Wetterhöhe, the vantage point invites you to linger.
The cross with summit book was built from two old railway sleepers from the disused Roßwein-Hainichen line and became the "highlight" of the Roßweiner summit tour.

"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
"Most of these technical monuments are still preserved and since they all stand on hilltops they always offer a great view of Saxony as a destination.
From this station the stations of the 1st order No. 36 (Freiberg) and the stations of the 2nd order No. 72 (Eckartsberg), No. 74 (Katzenberg), No. 97 (Marbachhöhe), No. 98 (Reichenbachhöhe), No. 100 (Kreuz), No. 102 (Schleinitzhöhe), No. 103 (Eichhardthöhe) and No. 104 (Hohenwussen).

The Wetterhöhe station is part of the Royal Saxon Triangulation of 1869 and was built north of the Wettersdorfer windmill. The windmill no longer exists.
