First-Order Triangulation Station Rückenberg (Góra Żarska)

Highlight • Monument

The granite pillar embedded on the summit of the 226 m high Rückenberg served as a first-order station for triangulation for the European degree measurement. The Royal Prussian State Survey recorded the Märkisch Silesian triangular chain in the period from 1868 to 1872 and thus connected the triangular networks of the Kingdom of Saxony (Royal Saxon Triangulation) and the coastal survey with the Berlin base.
The Rückenberg station was number 23 in the Märkisch-Silesian triangle chain and from this station the summits of Brandberg, Hochstein, Gröditzberg, Dalkau, Meiseberg and Hutberg were targeted for the survey. Especially when connecting to the Saxon network, one benefited from the highly precise triangulation between Keulenberg, Strauch and Collm. The Märkisch Silesian triangular group has a connection to the Saxon triangular network in the south as well as a connection to the Thuringian Saxon in the west and to the Silesian triangular group in the east. In the north there is a connection to the Berlin line and the Elbe chain. The granite pillar is certainly not as impressive as the pillars with the inscriptions that give it its name, but it served the same purpose and had to be brought up the mountain in the 19th century. The Rückenberg is the highest mountain on the eastern flank of the Muskau Arch (de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muskauer_Faltenbogen) There are 3 towers on the summit, a fire watchtower for early detection of forest fires (not open to the public), the ruins of the Bismarck Tower and the observation tower from which you can at least has a beautiful view of the south of the country (Königshainer Berge, Landeskrone, Gröditzberg) The three highest peaks of the western flank of the fold arch are also clearly visible and the geological form of the horseshoe-shaped push end moraine.

Miłowice Palace

Highlight • Castle

Until 1684 Mildenau was owned by the von der Dahme and von Knobelsdorff families, from 1685 until the end of the 18th century owned by the von Dyhrn family, who rebuilt and enlarged the old castle. The last owner of this family on Mildenau was Marianne von Dyhrn, through whom the manor passed into the possession of her direct descendants from the Keck von Schwarzbach family around 1793. In 1827 the manor came into the hands of the von Mutzdorf family. The value of the entire manor with the castle and 40 individual ponds was estimated at around 30,000 Reichsthaler. Leberecht Theüner acquired it around 1841, and his son Moritz Theüner inherited it nine years later. The von Wackerbarth family bought the estate in 1913, but sold it three years later to an entrepreneurial family from Sorau who were active in the textile industry. Around 1928 Mildenau became the home of the von Dyhrn family again, today a welfare home. Source: Wikipaedia You can enter the area without any problems.
