Monumentberg Triangulation Station No. 2 (Nostitzhöhe)
Highlight • Monument
"As Station No. 2 Nostitzhöhe, the Monumentberg was a first-order station of the Royal Saxon Triangulation in the 1860s. For this reason, a survey column was erected on the summit."
See also: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monumentberg
The monolith was replaced by a brick pillar.
From this station the first order stations No. 1 (Ossling), No. 3 (Jauernick), No. 4 (Jeschken), No. 5 (Lausche), No. 6 (Valtenberg) and second order stations No. 42 (Rothstein), No. 47 (Strohmberg) and No. 48 (Großdubrau).
The royal Saxon triangulation is still considered a technical masterpiece and was the most accurate land survey in Europe in the 19th century.
On weekends there is a summit gastronomy, where every hiker and cyclist gets their money's worth. However, the hustle and bustle can be quite big here. Always worth a trip as a bicycle or mountain bike destination.

A man of merit
The commemorative plaque facing east proclaims in beautiful Latin script: “This monument simple and unostentatious like you noble, surrounded with flowering fields, which erect their improvement thanks to you. Your faithful wife Maximiliane Caroline Amalie was widowed by Nostitz Freyin von Werther in 1801.” The attentive reader will find the following words on the western commemorative plaque: “Dedicated to Johann Carl Adolph von Nostitz in Groß Radisch. Electoral Saxon Major and War Commissarius in Upper Lusatia. born 16 Dec 1743. died 26 Dec 1800”
