Borsberg, Summit in Dresden, Germany

The Borsberg reaches an elevation of 361 meters and stands as the second highest point in Dresden, marking the end of the Loschwitz-Pillnitzer-Elbhang.

A sandstone surveying column from 1865 remains at the summit, along with ruins of an 18th-century hermitage that was constructed for solitary meditation.

The mountain area belonged to royal hunting grounds, featuring an artificial rock grotto specifically built for the Saxon king's recreational activities.

Visitors can locate alternative paths toward Graupa and Pirna using the orientation board positioned on the south side of the former mountain restaurant.

The summit contains one of 158 original triangulation points established between 1862 and 1890 during the Royal Saxon land survey project.

GPS coordinates: 51.01273,13.90355
