Raschelberg

Raschelberg is a mountain in Freital that rises between the districts of Niederhäslich and Schweinsdorf, reaching approximately 273 meters in elevation. The terrain belongs to the Döhlener Becken geological formation and offers views from various points across the surrounding landscape.

Settlement on Raschelberg began in the 1920s with development along Rudeltstraße. In subsequent decades, additional residential areas emerged, including Waldblicksiedlung, which shaped the mountain's character.

The 'Raschelberg' housing cooperative, established in 1996, manages numerous residential buildings on the hillside, creating a strong community among local residents.

Several hiking trails of varying difficulty connect the mountain with nearby destinations like Windbergdenkmal viewpoint. These paths offer rest stops at different lookout points, suitable for short or extended visits.

Coal seams from the Rotliegend geological period lie beneath the mountain. These underground resources once shaped the region's industrial past and now remain hidden beneath the forested terrain.
