Cottaer Spitzberg, Basalt summit in Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge, Germany.
The Cottaer Spitzberg rises to 390.8 meters, featuring exposed columns of trachyte basalt and a diverse forest of oak and hornbeam on its northern slopes.
During the 19th century, intensive quarrying activities modified the natural landscape of the summit, extracting valuable basalt resources from its geological structure.
The summit functions as a vital reference point in German land surveying, incorporating a triangulation pillar that connects to other peaks in the measurement network.
Visitors can start their exploration from the designated parking area at coordinates N 50°54,193' E 013°58,363', following marked paths to reach the summit.
The summit contains a small bunker system constructed in the early 1960s that served as an emergency command post for the Pirna district.
