"The Royal Saxon Triangulation (here with its historical proper name) is a national survey carried out between 1862 and 1890 on the territory of the Kingdom of Saxony, with the simultaneous creation of a trigonometric network.
The goal was to record the national territory with scientific and geodetic precision and, by establishing permanently marked reference points, to create the basis for the production of accurate maps." - de.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B6niglich-S%C3%A4chsische_Triangulirung
The triangulation network created by August Nagel was considered one of the most accurate surveying networks in the world at the time.
The Nagel Columns are now preserved as technical monuments.

In the 19th century, these peaks offered a magnificent panoramic view. You can still enjoy it at the edge of the forest.
From the Steinkamm station, the stations Dittersdorfer Höhe, Greifenstein, Katzenstein and Pfaffenberg were targeted.
