Bubenik, mountain summit near Löbau, Saxony, Germany

Bubenik is a 375.9-metre basalt hill 4 km west of Löbau in Upper Lusatia. It forms a double peak with the Kleine Landeskrone (376.9 m), separated by a 361-metre saddle. On its summit a basalt column formation known as the Löwenköpfchen is visible; the northern summit is wooded, the rockier southern summit covered with dry scrub.

Bubenik is a basalt cone in the Oberlausitz, 375.9 m high, located 4 km west of Löbau. A quarry on the mountain began around 1850 to extract crushed stone and was shut down around 1905. In 1938 the mountain was declared a natural monument because of its rare flora, including the bird's-nest orchid and sanicle.

The name Bubenik comes from Sorbian, though its exact derivation is unclear; a link to the Upper Sorbian word Bubno (drum), perhaps from the hill's shape, is speculative. The summit's basalt column formation is called Löwenköpfchen (little lion's head) for its shape, a detail visitors look for at the top.

You can reach the summit through marked forest trails that start from the nearby village of Neukirch and are easy to walk. Parking is available at the base, and the trails are accessible throughout the year.

On the summit stands a basalt column formation whose shape earned it the name Löwenköpfchen, or little lion's head. The former quarry on the mountain, opened around 1850 to produce crushed stone, was abandoned around 1905.
