Wirtsberg

Wirtsberg, Mountain summit in Markneukirchen, Germany.

Wirtsberg is a 663.7 m high, unwooded summit in the Elstergebirge, southeast of Landwüst near Markneukirchen. Its highest point lies about 200 m from the Landwüst church and carries a 9.3 m observation tower built in 1986, nicknamed "Zitronenpresse" (lemon squeezer) for its shape. A column of the Royal Saxon triangulation from 1876 also stands on the summit.

A column of the Royal Saxon Triangulation, erected in 1876, stands on the summit and records the mountain's role in the survey of Saxony. The 9.3-metre observation tower followed in 1986. An old road from Adorf to Eger passed Landwüst by the Wirtsberg on its way to Rohrbach, and the Schwedenschanze fortification south of the village, probably from the Schmalkaldic War, was reinforced in 1632 during the Thirty Years' War.

The summit serves as a gathering point for hikers and locals who enjoy the views from the observation platform. The octagonal structure has become a recognizable landmark that guides visitors across the landscape.

Several hiking trails lead to the summit from different starting points around the area. Parking is available near local facilities and the Landwüst church, making it convenient for those arriving by vehicle.

The 9.3-metre tower, built in 1986, is nicknamed the "Zitronenpresse" (lemon squeezer) because of its unusual shape. Nearby stands a column of the Royal Saxon Triangulation from 1876, a survey marker that predates the tower by 110 years.
