Tips
In the 19th century, a wooden observation tower and a triangulation column were built. A total of 158 of these stone survey points were set up between 1862 and 1890. They were extremely modern at the time and were used for the first scientific geodetic survey in Saxony. The Borsberg triangulation column is still well preserved, while the area of the rock grotto and the former observation tower is overgrown and closed off.
