Kottmar, Mountain summit in Görlitz, Germany.

The Kottmar mountain rises to 583 meters above sea level in the Lusatian Highlands, featuring steep slopes and natural rock formations.

The Kottmar formed during the Tertiary period as a volcanic mountain, composed primarily of phonolite, an igneous rock type from ancient eruptions.

Three abandoned ski jumps from the 1960s remain on the mountain slopes, reflecting the local winter sports traditions of past generations.

Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit, with designated parking areas near Kottmarschenke restaurant serving as primary starting points.

The mountain marks a significant watershed, with springs feeding both the North Sea through the Spree River and the Baltic Sea through Neisse River.
