The pillar marks station 143 Wilhelmshöhe of the Royal Saxon Triangulation. "The Royal Saxon Triangulation (here with its historical proper name) is a land survey carried out between 1862 and 1890 in the territory of the Kingdom of Saxony, simultaneously creating a trigonometric network. The goal was to scientifically and geodetically accurately record the state territory and to create the basis for the production of accurate map series by establishing permanently marked control points. The Großenhainer Grundlinie was determined as the scale-defining base." - https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B6niglich-S%C3%A4chsische_Triangulirung From the station, the neighboring stations Carlshöhe, Marienhöhe, Schönheide, Wenzelstein, Kemmlerberg, and Kuhberg were sighted. Unfortunately, not much can be seen of it anymore, even from the tower.

I always take a short break here when I'm out on my racing bike and read something in the book that's lying here. Sometimes it's quite interesting.

At night, the building is beautifully staged thanks to the lighting.

With every step, closer to the summit – the Fichtelberg climb on the Stoneman Miriquidi Road. From the intersection, it's not far anymore, and motivation gets a final boost.

St. Elisabeth Church was consecrated in 1913. ----------------------------- As the "Mother of the Poor," Elisabeth of Thuringia was known for her helpfulness and charity. Born in Hungary in 1207, the bright princess was at the center of political interest. At just four years old, she was betrothed to the 14-year-old heir to the throne of the Landgrave of Thuringia, Ludwig, and grew up at Wartburg Castle. After their marriage in 1221, Elisabeth gave birth to three children. The stark contrasts between life in the castle and that in the village, between wealth and poverty, contradicted Elisabeth's Christian sensibilities. Based on her faith, she tried to live out her love of God and neighbor in a very concrete way. She wore simple clothes, attended church services without jewelry, fasted and performed daily penances, cared for the poor and sick, nursed lepers, and took in orphans. She was a truly revolutionary figure who also became a bone of contention in court circles.

The first weather observer on this summit was the innkeeper of the Fichtelberghaus. He recorded his weather observations from 1890 onwards, but from 1898 onwards only intermittently, and from 1910 onwards not at all. The head of the Royal Saxon State Meteorological Observatory, Paul Schreiber, suggested the construction of a permanent weather observatory. Temperature, wind speed, and precipitation amounts have been continuously recorded here since January 1, 1916. The strongest storm recorded here was on January 3, 1976, with a peak gust speed of 216 kilometers per hour. The coldest day on the summit was February 9, 1956, with minus 30.4 degrees Celsius; the warmest was July 27, 1983, with plus 30.8 degrees Celsius. The highest snow cover was measured in March 1944: 3.35 meters. The year 1951 was bad for Fichtelberg tourists: it held the record for foggy days with 315.

This road takes you along a well-paved road over the ridge and through the forest. If you're carrying the momentum downhill, you'll need to be careful at the junction, as it changes to firm, light gravel for about 300m. After that, there's a barrier. At the next village entrance, there's a constant layer of gravel. In the village of Lange, you can easily bypass the construction site on the left.
