Pöhlberg

Highlight • Summit

Views over Annaberg-Buchholz....
At an altitude of 831 m, the Pöhlberg offers a fantastic panoramic view over Annaberg-Buchholz and the Ore Mountains, inviting you to hike and linger. On the mountain, which is largely made of basalt, you can explore the oldest mining area in the Annaberg - St. Briccius region or be inspired by the "butter barrels" on the north side of the mountain.
At the summit of the Pöhlberg, there is the Pöhlberghotel with a restaurant and viewing tower.

Basalt Columns (Butterfässer) at Pöhlberg

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Pöhlberg, home mountain of Annaberg-Buchholz, is a paradise for you, if you are a little interested in geology. And even if that is not the case, the view of the so-called butter barrels will impress you. On the north side of the mountain you have the view of these basalt columns of a former quarry. On the eastern slope of the hill, on the other hand, you will find relics of early tin, silver and copper mining, which began here in the 15th century.

Pöhlberg Observation Tower and Berghotel Röthberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

On the summit of the Pöhlberg awaits you the mountain hotel and the 1897 built, 35 meters high lookout tower. At 831 meters, you can enjoy the view, but above all the accommodation in this special place away from the hustle and bustle. Here you are set for bikers, you are welcome.

A beautiful walk, although at the start the weather was not the best for the journey to the viewpoint, but as if nature had guessed, when we arrived at the mountain hotel with the lookout, it turned out beautifully....awesome journey along the old bobsled track....👍🏻

You should make good use of the day off, so get out into nature and explore the Pöhlberg from Annaberg. In the beautiful Ore Mountains lies the 831.1m high Pöhlberg. At its foot is a beautiful wild animal enclosure in the Annaberg city forest. The ascent is possible via good hiking trails. We walked part of the rosehip trail. There …

A geocache event drew us to Annaberg Buchholz today at the Männelmacher. The pre-event lured us to Pöhlberg. On the way there, we stretched our legs a bit... 🚶🏼‍♀️🚶🏼‍♂️

Beautiful round in the best weather, lots of sun, ground slightly frozen, so no mud, one each of the middle and upper Pöhlberg circuits, plus part of the lower one.
The supply situation was excellent today, 2 open excursion restaurants along the way, plus 1 snack bar with beer or mulled wine garden and 1 cafe. That makes up for …
