Above the village of Oberwittig/Horny Vítkov rises the prominent border hill Gickelsberg (569m). Visible from afar in all directions, it was ideally suited for the Royal Saxon triangulation system: a triangulation pillar stands on the summit. It offers a great view (Gickelsberg = from "to look"), though sometimes it is shrouded in fog. In the network of the "Royal Saxon Triangulation," the Gickelsberg station is a second-order station (number 38). Basalt columns pierce the older granite on the summit, next to which is a birdwatching platform.
