Pöhlberg, Mountain summit in Annaberg-Buchholz, Germany.
Pöhlberg is a mountain rising to 831 meters with distinct basalt columns visible in patterns across its northern slope. The mountain also bears traces of former quarrying activities visible in the rock formations.
Mining for tin, silver, and copper began here before 1400, making it one of the region's oldest extraction areas. This mining activity shaped the landscape and left deep marks on the mountain's geology.
The summit restaurant and hotel with its tower have shaped this place since the late 1800s. Visitors use the observation platform to take in views across the surrounding mountains and landscape.
A hiking trail of about 8 kilometers leads from the town center to the summit with clear markings throughout. At the top you will find a restaurant and lodging where you can rest and enjoy the views.
The north side features striking basalt columns that locals call 'Butterfässer' because they resemble large barrels. These formations were exposed through quarrying and now stand as an unusual geological feature on the mountain.
