On the 162.8 m high Drachenberg you can enter your name in a summit book.
How did the Drachenberg get its name?
A legend tells that God created Lusatia and the devil put the coal on it. A dragon that settled here was supposed to protect the coal from humans.
When humans began to mine the valuable raw material, dragon's blood seeped out of the dragon lying in the earth - known to us as red water. Little by little the kite dried up in the area between Krauschwitz and Weißwasser and left a large pool of blood: the brown pond. The back can still be seen today, because the many gies and elevations mark the peaks on the dragon's back. The largest of them is the Drachenberg.
