Oberoderwitzer Spitzberg, Mountain summit in Saxony, Germany.
The Oberoderwitzer Spitzberg is a 510 meter mountain in eastern Upper Lusatia distinguished by striking phonolite rock formations and a conical silhouette. The landscape is shaped by steep slopes and characteristic rock that gives the summit its distinctive form.
The mountain received protected status in 1936 due to its remarkable rock formations. A surveying point from 1864 still marks the highest place, showing how long this site has mattered.
The mountain has long drawn walkers and climbers from the surrounding region to its heights. Families use the facilities here to spend time outdoors together.
Weekends and summer months bring crowds, so visiting early in the day helps you find quieter moments. Sturdy footwear is needed because of rocky paths and steps throughout the site.
From the viewing platform, clear days reveal the Zittau Mountains, Jizera Mountains, and parts of northern Bohemia stretching toward the horizon. This sweeping vista makes the site a special place for gazing across the landscape.
