Here you receive a point for the digital hiking pin at SummitLynx. The Bismarck Tower in Schneeberg is an impressive structure that was built by the Schneeberg Erzgebirge branch association with the support of the city. The inauguration of the tower took place on August 31, 1893 under the name Keilbergturm. The stones for the tower came from a nearby quarry on the Keilberg. In honor of Otto von Bismarck, the tower was renamed the Bismarck Tower on April 1, 1899. The tower is an impressive 21 meters high and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. On April 16, 1899, a relief image of Bismarck was attached to the outer wall of the tower. The picture was made by the renowned C. Albert Bierling iron foundry in Dresden. Unfortunately, the relief image no longer exists today.

From 1964, large parts of the Hartmannsdorf forest were declared a military restricted area and hikes to the mountain summit were impossible. Since 2008, the Hartmannsdorfer Forst has been freely accessible again and a hike to the Hirschenstein is easily feasible ... https://www.dein-erzgebirge.de/aussichtspunkte-berge/hirschenstein.html

A restaurant is also available. The Erzgebirge branch association Schneeberg-Neustädtel, chaired by Mayor Dr. von Woydt at the general meeting in April 1893 to have the damaged wooden observation tower on the Gleesberg demolished. Instead, a stone observation tower should be built on Klínovec. The municipal colleges decided to support the association in the construction of the lookout tower by providing a building plot and quarry stones. Due to the tower's location on the Keilberg (northwest of Schneeberg), tensions arose in the Erzgebirge branch as many members wanted to build a massive tower on the Gleesberg. Numerous Neustädter members left the branch association. This has now been renamed the Schneeberg branch association. At the request of the association, master builder Görling from Schneeberg prepared a design and a cost estimate for the observation tower, which was approved at a general meeting. It was decided that the new observation tower should be built in 1893. The members of the branch association were asked to subscribe to interest-free share certificates at 5 and 10 marks. By May 1893, shares in the amount of 1,700 marks were subscribed in Schneeberg and Schlema. In the summer of 1893, the municipal colleges approved a contribution of 500 marks to the construction of the tower and took over the construction of the access routes. The total sum for building the tower was 4,400 marks.
