Wirtsberg, Mountain summit in Markneukirchen, Germany.

Located in southeastern Saxony, the Wirtsberg reaches a height of 663.7 meters and includes an octagonal observation tower offering views across the region.

The mountain served as a Royal Saxon Triangulation Station in 1876, with the current observation structure replacing the original framework in 1985.

The mountain's observation building represents local craftsmanship, constructed by workers from the LPG Breitenfeld and the Landwüst open-air museum.

Visitors can access the mountain through multiple hiking trails, with parking available at the Landwüst church for those arriving by car.

The observation tower's distinctive octagonal design by architect Benno Kolbe sets it apart from traditional mountain shelters in the region.
