    Up to one of the youngest observation towers in Upper Lusatia. At 307 m, the Hohe Dubrau is the highest elevation in the Upper Lusatian heath and pond landscape. The cozy Lausitzblick building (now closed) and a 25 m high observation tower were built on the neighboring Monumentberg in 2001.
    The building is scheduled to open again this year - let's be surprised.

      On the Monumentberg you can stop in the "Lausitzblick" hut. It is currently open on Saturday, Sunday and on public holidays from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

        In 1801, a monument was erected on the summit in memory of Johann Carl Adolf von Nostitz (1743–1800), first lieutenant in the Saxon army from 1774, captain from 1786 and major from 1793. Therefore the mountain was initially called Nostitzhöhe. After the memory of von Nostitz receded, the name Monumentberg became common, which the height bears today.

        As station No. 2 Nostitzhöhe, Monumentberg was a first-order station in the Royal Saxon triangulation in the 1860s. For this reason, a survey column had been erected on the summit.

        In 1994 the Nostitz monument was restored by the community and in 2000-2001 a 25 meter high observation tower and a restaurant were built on the summit.
