Baeyerhöhe Triangulation Station

The Baeyerhöhe is with 320.5 m HN not only the highest elevation in the district of Meissen but was also named after the founder of the European degree measurement Johann Jacob Baeyer. The summit offers hikers and cyclists a great view of Saxony. Therefore, Station No. 12 of the Royal Saxon Triangulation was established as a 1st order station. From here, 13 stations of 1st order and 9 stations of 2nd order were targeted for surveying purposes. This also shows the central role of this station in the surveying network of the 19th century. This technical masterpiece is also acknowledged with corresponding information boards at many stations. Highly recommended is the use of the survey for celestial observations at night.

magnificent panoramic view of the Meißner Land
