Kuhberg

Kuhberg is a mountain summit in the Erzgebirge region that rises to approximately 800 meters and offers sweeping views of the surrounding landscape. An observation structure at the top provides visitors with vantage points to look out across the forested valleys and distant hills.

An observation tower was built on the summit in 1894 to provide early visitors with access to the mountain's views. This construction marked the start of tourism development in this border region between the Erzgebirge and Vogtland areas.

The mountain serves as a meeting point for hikers from surrounding communities who gather to explore the landscape together. The area reflects the local tradition of using these heights as natural gathering spaces throughout the year.

The mountain can be reached by paved roads from Stützengrün or by hiking trails from nearby towns. The summit and its facilities remain open year-round, though weather conditions may affect accessibility during winter months.

A mountain restaurant at the summit serves meals throughout the day, allowing visitors to dine while taking in the views from this height. This dining option provides a comfortable place to rest and refuel after the climb or hike.
