Oberlichtenau Castle Pond

Highlight • Lake

The castle pond in the park of the Oberlichtenau baroque castle is a great eye-catcher. The former splendor of an ornamental garden, an orangery, a large baroque pleasure garden with numerous terraces as well as a fountain and sandstone sculptures can still be felt and partly seen after 300 years.

Royal Saxon Triangulation No. 10 Keulenberg Station
"The Royal Saxon Triangulation (here with its historical name) is a land survey carried out in the years 1862 to 1890 on the territory of the Kingdom of Saxony with the simultaneous creation of a trigonometric network.
The aim was to record the territory of the state in a scientifically and geodetically precise manner and to create the basis for the production of precise maps by establishing permanently marked fixed points." - de.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B6niglich-S%C3%A4chsische_Triangulirung
As a 1st order station, it was also part of the Central European degree measurement.

From Keulenberg, observations were made from N. Olgahöhe, Ossling, Lessingthurm, Butterberg, Valtenberg, Lausche, Schneeberg, Felixthurm, Borsberg, Kahleberg, Dresdner Schlossthurm, Bayerhöhe, Großdobritz, Buchberg, Collm, Strauch, Galgenberge.
There are signs on the observation tower showing where these peaks can be located.

On this hike, which is peppered with song stones, anyone who wants to can sing along to the folk songs and read about who wrote them - again interesting.
