Immediately next to the Nollendorfer Pass (Nakléřovský průsmyk) is the Nollendorfer Höhe (Nakléřovská výšina). From the main road, past a parking lot and the Kleist monument, a rough gravel path branches off to the hill. The path can also be easily ridden on a racing bike if you have the necessary cycling skills. The largely unforested ridge plateau offers a fantastic, almost 360° panoramic view of the Bohemian low mountain range, the Elbe Sandstone Mountains and the Lusatian Mountains, as well as the nearby Schneeberg (Sneznik). From a distance you can also see the Jizera Mountains, Ještěd and the Giant Mountains with Sněžka in the east. You can also see the D8 motorway running at the foot of the mountain. To the north the road emerges from the Panenská tunnel and skirts the mountain to the east.
The entire area is steeped in history: Napoleon, the Olympic flame and the Prague Spring. Before the Second World War, the terminus of the tram from Aussig (Usti) to Tellnitz (Telnice), which was inaugurated in 1912, was a popular starting point for the climb to Nollendorfer Höhe.
