Spiegelwald

Spiegelwald is a mountain in the Erzgebirge region that rises to approximately 728 meters and is covered with dense forest. The König-Albert-Tower stands on its summit, offering views across the surrounding forested landscape.

The König-Albert-Tower was built on the summit as an observation point for visitors exploring the region. This structure has helped people view and understand the landscape of the Erzgebirge over time.

Local wood carvers gather at the summit each November to demonstrate traditional Erzgebirge craftsmanship techniques and display their creations to the public.

Marked trails from Bernsbach, Grünhain, and Beierfeld lead to the summit from multiple directions. Hikers can choose their starting point based on where they are located and follow the signs to reach the tower.

On clear days, visitors to the tower can spot the Monument to the Battle of the Nations in Leipzig from the summit, despite it being over 100 kilometers away. This reveals the exceptional range of visibility from this elevated position.
