A beautiful little observation tower with a restaurant not far from Cursdorf and Meuselbach with a wonderful view. The new landlady bakes wonderful cakes and there is always soup on the stove 🥰

Küppenwirtin Meuselbacher Kuppe

Highlight • Mountain Hut

A beautiful but strenuous climb from Lichtenhain via the western side of the mountain. Climbs that have it all! Once at the top, you can look for a sunny spot or find something to eat. (The hot cocoa is sooo delicious!)
Note opening hours. On the other side you can then go down again via a small mountain road. If you have children and are planning a tour in winter, you should take a sledge with you. Some passages then compensate for the ascent with a sleigh ride.👍🛷

After a somewhat complicated outward journey (RE42 from Leipzig only ONE THREE-PARTS, DB security sorts things out like a bouncer (they also stood at the doors), journey …
