Mönchswalder Berg, Mountain summit in Bautzen District, Germany.

The Mönchswalder Berg rises to 447.4 meters above sea level, offering views of Bautzen, the Lusatian Highlands, and multiple mountain ranges across the region.

The mountain gained its name from a small monastery established on its northern slope during the 15th century, when monks founded the settlement of Mönchswalde.

The Pumphut Pavilion, added in the 1960s, represents the hat of Martin Pumphut, a legendary sorcerer from Upper Lusatia who features in local folklore.

Visitors can access the summit via the Mönchswalder Straße trail, which leads to a mountain lodge featuring a restaurant, beer garden, and observation tower.

From the summit, observers can spot 51 different peaks, including the Jizera Mountains, Giant Mountains, Saxon Switzerland, and the Zittau Mountain range.
