So far, this mountain has received far too little attention from us. It is now our new highlight. Great view, secluded, with minimal rock climbing even to the top, and you are almost alone as it is not so well known. It is also part of the 14 eight-thousanders in the Ore Mountains ... a new insider tip from us

A beautiful rock and easily accessible.
However, climbing is prohibited!

In 1999, mountaineer Götz Wiegand conducted an interview via satellite at the advanced base camp on Manaslu at 4,800 m and noted that he would like to climb more mountains that start with an "8". In his native Saxony, his mountain friend Frank Meutzner heard this sentence and started looking for new tours. This is followed by the ascent to a nearby eight-thousander, the Drachenkopf (Kannelberg) with 8,054 dm, and from this Frank Meutzner has developed an extreme tour: "14 eight-thousanders in the Eastern Ore Mountains". In 2003/04, the MDR mountain sports magazine "Biwak" took up the matter and triggered a run towards the nearby eight-thousanders. In the last 10 years, more than 15,000 "extreme mountaineers" have entered the summit books on the BIWAK summit alone. Who wants to struggle up the real giants in the Himalayas when you can penetrate the death zone here largely without danger. The only problem sometimes is with the free views on tree-covered Saxon eight-thousanders, although it can be similar in the Himalayas when clouds obscure the view.
If you want, you can equip yourself with a starter set in the TouristInfo Altenberg or simply go to eight-thousander-im-erzgebirge.de.
