Wesenitz Spring and Valentin Adit Information The Wesenitz River originates at an elevation of 515 meters above sea level on the southeastern slope of the Valtenberg mountain, emerging from the entrance of a 60-meter-long mine adit known as the "Goldbergwerk" (Gold Mine). The Wesenitz was first documented in 1213. Valentin Adit at the Wesenitz spring on the southern slope of the Valtenberg mountain.

Anyone who comes from the area must have been there at least once. Even if boundaries (should) connect rather than divide.

The hiking trail along the Czech-German border is, as Bernhard Sander correctly stated above, a typical forest hiking trail. Not suitable for cycling in any way (not even MTB unless you're a little crazy).

story Trying to unravel a mystery. In the spring of 2006 we discovered a large hand-shaped weathering depression in the rocks of Upper Lusatia. We baptized it "God's Hand" Maybe it was just a whim of nature. Nevertheless, measurements carried out in the spring of 2007 yielded a surprising result: if you looked out of the triangular viewing hole of a nearby cave over the "God's Hand" towards the sky, you could see the noon point of the winter solstice directly. ... An accident? Since then we have systematically visited every rock known to us in Upper Lusatia and many more, examined them for characteristics and measured them. We discovered more solar observation phenomena. Individual rock objects with one or more viewing windows are particularly impressive. These viewing windows often mark not only the midday sun of the winter solstice, but also the morning and evening sun of both the winter and summer solstices and the beginning of spring and autumn. Some rocks reflect the observation scheme of the prehistoric "Nebra Sky Disc" discovered in Saxony-Anhalt even reflected 1:1. ... Is it really all just a coincidence???? We don't think so! We are of the opinion that although nature in many cases created the conditions for numerous viewing windows through crevasses and fissures in the rock, their alignment to always the same specific points in the sky is in many cases a deliberate work of man with the intention of using the suns and their movement in the sky to determine the length of the year and to divide it into periods. Undoubtedly traces of this targeted human influence and even stone tools used for this purpose have already been discovered and recorded in expert reports. In 2008, with the support of the star friends of the observatory "Bruno H. Bürgel" e.V. Sohland/Spree, we launched the "Project-Götterhand" to investigate the phenomenon. Source: Hand of the Gods

In principle, the spring drains the old Valentin tunnel. Water is life.

there is a bench up there to rest on.

Beautiful view

According to tradition, the name of the mountain came about during the Thirty Years' War. At that time, the farmers of the area drove their cattle up this mountain to find protection and refuge. On the other hand, Theodor Schütze says: "The name can hardly have anything to do with calves that were supposedly hidden in the mountain forest during the Thirty Years' War." Kelerstein is listed on Scultetus' map from 1593. In a loan letter from 1669, it is referred to as a "Hichtwald". Source: Wikipedia
