"The Royal Saxon Triangulation (here with its historical proper name) is a national survey carried out in the years 1862 to 1890 on the territory of the Kingdom of Saxony 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 The triangulation network created by August Nagel was considered one of the most precise surveying networks in the world at the time. The Nagel columns are now preserved as technical monuments. The Spitzberg in particular offers a fantastic panoramic view of many of the stations - Kottmar, Czorneboh,... all the way to the Jeschken.

A literary monument - albeit rather bizarre in the context of the story - is the Spanish author Miguel de CERVANTES, who commemorates the windmills with which our ancestors harnessed the energy of the wind centuries ago to move the large and heavy millstones : In one episode, his tragic novel hero DON QUIXOTE, the "knight of the sad figure", wants to defeat her in a duel in the belief that he is fighting against giants with four arms.

Today they are hardly ever used in their original function, but only technical and historical monuments of a long tradition of craftsmanship: The heavy millstones inside were moved solely by the power of the wind as driving energy and thus, for example, grain grains were ground into flour (so-called grain mills ) or the oil is pressed from (e.g. olive) fruits (so-called oil mills). Thus, these ancient windmills are the best evidence that humans were clever enough to harness the power of the wind for a number of centuries - long before the discovery of electricity and the inventions that followed. So what is celebrated today as modern (so-called green or renewable) energy is basically just the proverbial "old hat in a new guise".

510m high and great all-round view, all mountains in the area are marked. Royal Saxon triangulation column at the summit (1864).

A beautiful vantage point with a fantastic 360° panorama over Upper Lusatia, the Iser Mountains, the Jeschken, the Zittau and Lusatian Mountains to Saxon Switzerland.

The Oderwitzer Spitzberg offers a fantastic 360° panoramic view, is geologically interesting, was a triangulation point of the Saxon state survey of 1864.

The mill has been lovingly renovated and restored. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to look at it from the inside.
