With a height of 587 meters, the Valtenberg is the highest peak in the Lusatian highlands, expanding from here to the east towards the Lusatian Mountains. Above you will find a lookout tower and a nice mountain dwelling. The Baude and the tower are open all year from 10 to 17 clock, only on Mondays and Fridays is closed. From the observation tower, you have a unique view of the surrounding landscape, with a good view, the view extends to the Elbe Sandstone Mountains and the Giant Mountains.

The lodge and the King John Tower on the summit are closed because the tenant and the municipality are at loggerheads with each other. Let's hope that both parties can come to an agreement at some point.
