    At the summit of Pfaffenberg (480 m), the Pfaffenberg station was included as 1st order station No. 16 of the Royal Saxon Triangulation in the surveying network for triangulation as a geodetic measuring method and at the same time was an interface to the other surveying networks for European degree measurement. The optical measuring devices were fixed on the monolith and from this station the 1st order stations No. 13 (Udohöhe), No. 15 (Fichtelberg), No. 17 (Rochlitz), No. 18 (Collm), No. 21 (Röden), No. 22 (Reust), No. 23 (Kuhberg) and No. 24 (Aschberg) targeted. The stations of the 2nd order No. 91 (Dittersdorfer Höhe), No. 92 (Beutenberg), No. 93 (Taurastein), No. 120 (Ziegelheim), No. 121 (Pfaffroda), No. 125 (Hospitalberg), No. 126 (Reinsdorf), No. 127 (Katzenstein) and No. 128 (Steinkamm) measured. The Saxon triangulation network was considered to be the most accurate surveying network in Europe at the time.
    In addition to detailed explanations on the topic on an information board, there are great views of the Ore Mountains.
