Lausche, Mountain summit in Zittau Mountains, Czech Republic

The Lausche summit reaches 793 meters in elevation, forming the highest point of the Zittau Mountains on the Czech-German border.

The mountain's name evolved from Spitzberg in 1538 to Lausche in 1631, with locals referring to it as Mittagsberg due to sun position observations.

The summit area contains memorials marking historical events, including a monument commemorating a 1945 aircraft accident that resulted in casualties.

Two distinct paths lead to the summit: a steep traditional ascent from 1823 and a winding serpentine trail on the northern side.

The mountain's geological structure includes chalk sandstones rising to 710 meters, topped by a 20-meter tuff layer and phonolitic cone formation.

GPS coordinates: 50.84906,14.64673
