Luchberg

Luchberg is a mountain summit near Glashütte with an elevation of about 576 meters and volcanic stone beneath. Its surface is marked by dense forests and moss-covered boulders scattered across the slopes.

The Erzgebirge region around Luchberg became a major silver mining area during the late Middle Ages. This mining activity fundamentally reshaped the local landscape and communities.

The mountain sits near Glashütte, a town famous since 1845 for its precision watchmaking craft. Visitors can experience this tradition in the local workshops and museums that showcase the skilled work.

Multiple marked trails lead to the summit, with the Bank loop from Luchau offering a route of about 5 kilometers with 110 meters of elevation gain. Sturdy footwear is advisable due to the mossy boulders and uneven ground.

A television and mobile communication tower stands at the forested summit, blocking the view despite the mountain's considerable height. This often surprises visitors expecting an open panorama from the peak.
