Whoever heads for this point stands on a mountain, all Royal Saxon triangulation stations stand on hilltops.
Station No. 108 Ballendorf is a second order station of the triangular network of the Royal Saxon Triangulation. In the 19th century, the optical measuring devices were fixed on the monolith in order to locate other stations for surveying purposes. Most of these technical monuments are still preserved and as they all stand on hilltops they always offer a great view of Saxony as a destination.
