リープシュタットの絶景の山頂・トップ20

A steep staircase is waiting to be climbed.

The 476 meter high Wilisch consists mainly of basalt, which is due to its volcanic origin. The last volcanic activity that led to the formation of the Wilisch dates back to the Tertiary, more precisely the Oligocene to Miocene. The region around the Wilisch is also geologically interesting because it is rich in basalt, which in the past led to the intensive extraction and use of this rock. The view from the Wilisch and the triangulation column are also really very impressive.

The view towards Dresden is simply magnificent. SINCE the hike is easy to manage even for those with no experience, everyone who is in the vicinity should treat themselves to this hay ride. The view is not obstructed by anything with a 360 degree panoramic view. I come up here from Pirna and a special feeling of home comes over me again and again, and the words "here I am human, here I can be" take on a special meaning. When I see these pictures now from afar - I have moved away from Pirna - I am overcome by a painful longing for home. If I come back again, a hike to the beloved "COTTAER Spitzberg" is definitely on the agenda! Rolf Haufe, now from Hameln

"The Royal Saxon Triangulation (here with its historical name) is a land survey carried out in the territory of the Kingdom of Saxony between 1862 and 1890, with the simultaneous creation of a trigonometric network. The aim was to record the territory of the state in a scientifically and geodetically precise manner and to create the basis for the production of precise maps by establishing permanently marked reference points." - https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B6niglich-S%C3%A4chsische_Triangulirung From the Cottaer Spitzberg one could observe the castle tower (Dresden) and Borsberg (N), Lilienstein and Zschirnstein (O), Schneeberg and Sattelberg (S), Dittershöhe, Wilisch and Gohlig (W)

A small highlight on a tour in the area, e.g. from Pirna via Goes and Cotta. The mountain accompanies the hiker all around. Above you get the column with the Hoher Schneeberg in the background together in one photo.

This board contains all the important information about the survey column that was erected on the summit in 1865.

Brief description: Triangulation column; station of the Royal Saxon Triangulation, 2nd order network The station was built in October 1865 on the summit of the Cotta Spitzberg. A building permit for an area of 37 m² at the location of the column was acquired from the property owner, landowner J. F. Mitzscherlich in Grosscotta, by contract dated January 31, 1867. This cost a total of 25 marks. In addition, bushes in the area around the column had to be removed. Measurements were often taken on the pillar, which included many other points on well-known mountain peaks, such as the Kleiner Bärenstein, the Finckenfang, the Panoramahöhe or the Gohrisch. But towers were also taken into account in Weesenstein, on the Sonnenstein or in Wehlen. Below the summit, next to a hut, there is a board with information about the column. In the period from 1862 to 1890, the King...
