바트 브람바흐‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪10‬개의 산 정상

정상 부근에는 소위 Weißenstädter Porphyrgranit으로 이루어진 독특한 블록 지대가 있습니다. 이 지대는 최대 10센티미터 크기의 장석 결정체를 특징으로 하며, 이 결정체들이 토양을 특히 비옥하게 만듭니다. 이것이 주변 너도밤나무 숲이 이곳에서 그렇게 무성하게 자라는 이유입니다.

A great border hike, so beautiful 👍

The first observation tower, designed by architect Gustav Zimmermann, was built in 1931. It was closed to the public in 1968 after the Prague Spring because the Soviets installed a radar station there. From then on, it served solely as a military observation tower. On November 1, 1982, the tower, supposedly dilapidated, was blown up by demolition experts from the Oelsnitz hard stone works on behalf of the Oelsnitz civil defense. After the fall of the Berlin Wall and the reunification of Germany, efforts were made to rebuild the tower. The new observation tower was designed according to the old plans, but has a larger floor plan and is slightly taller. The new tower was inaugurated on June 19, 1993. From its observation platform, one can see as far as the Kaiserwald, the Ore Mountains, the Upper Palatinate Forest, and the Fichtel Mountains.

The Kapellenberg was first mentioned in a document in 1261, when the bailiffs of Weida, Plauen, and Gera pledged to Count Palatine Ludwig the Bavarian not to build a castle here or anywhere else in the Egerland region. However, there must have been a fort here at the beginning of the 15th century, as it is reported that it was occupied by mercenaries of Elector Frederick of Saxony. The remains of this fortress, known as the Alter Wall, can still be seen today. At 759 meters, the Kapellenberg is the highest elevation in the Elster Mountains. Geologically speaking, however, it belongs to the Fichtel Mountains in Upper Franconia.

It's really idyllic there with the big rocks and the beautiful area. The climb was worth it.

Goes up high and down steeply, just like a cone. ;)

Climbing up is a bit strenuous, but it's worth it.

The Kegelberg lies on both sides of the border between Germany and the Czech Republic. On the German side there is the Kegelberg downhill ski area and the mountain hut.
