There used to be an observation tower here, which collapsed in a storm in 1891 after only 11 years. A second tower lasted much longer and was only demolished after World War II due to its dilapidation. Now the Berghotel Augustusberg still stands here. The view of the Gottleuba dam, which was built from 1964 to 1974, and of the Eastern Ore Mountains to the Kahleberg, Geising and Luchberg are offered from the view. Geologically, the Augustusberg is a sandstone island in the middle of the granite.

"The Augustusberg is a 507 meter high mountain in the Eastern Ore Mountains. It rises east of Bad Gottleuba about 150 meters above the valley of the Gottleuba."
"The Augustusberg, high above the eastern slope of the Gottleuba valley, offers a good view towards the Elbe valley and the Eastern Ore Mountains. In good conditions, the view extends into the Elbe valley to the television tower Dresden and in the direction of the Eastern Ore Mountains via the Gottleuba dam to the Geisingberg, Kahleberg and the Frauenstein castle ruins.
