Keulenberg, Mountain summit in Pulsnitz, Germany
Keulenberg is a twin-peaked hill in Pulsnitz, in the Lusatian Uplands of Saxony, with a wide saddle connecting its two summits and a main peak at 413 meters (1,355 ft). A wooden observation tower stands at the top and opens up a full view over the surrounding rolling terrain.
The hill served for centuries as a boundary marker between different Saxon administrative districts across Upper Lusatia. Its recognizable two-peaked shape made it a natural reference point long before any tower or path was built there.
The Keulenberg draws people from nearby villages for open-air celebrations tied to Saxon and Lusatian traditions, especially around seasonal holidays. The wooden observation tower at the top has become a familiar landmark that locals use as a meeting point.
The summit is reached by well-marked walking trails that are easy to follow without any special equipment. Several paths lead up from nearby villages, with the routes from Steina and Pulsnitz being the most commonly used.
The hill has long been a gathering spot for hang gliders and paragliders, drawn by the steady winds that move across its open slopes. On a clear day, it is common to look up from the tower and see several gliders in the air at the same time.
