The Cottaer Spitzberg is a 390.8 m high basalt crest on the western edge of Saxon Switzerland. Since 1979, the mountain is under conservation because of its geological and botanical characteristics as a surface nature monument

"The Royal Saxon Triangulation (here with the historical proper name) is a land survey carried out in the years 1862 to 1890 on the territory of the Kingdom of Saxony with simultaneous creation of a trigonometric network.

The aim was to precisely record the national territory scientifically and geodetically and to create the basis for the production of precise maps by defining permanently marketed fixed points. "- de.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B6nlicher-S % C3% A4xian_triangulation

From the Cottaer Spitzberg you can see the castle tower (Dresden) and Borsberg (N), Lilienstein and Zschirnstein (O), Schneeberg and Sattelberg (S), Dittershöhe, Wilisch and Gohlig (W)

In 1865, a triangulation column was erected on the Cottaer Spitzberg for the Saxon Land Survey. At the beginning of the 1960s, a small bunker complex was built on the east side of the mountain during the Cold War wedding.
