The Butterberg is almost 384 meters high and is located just a few kilometers from the center of Bischofswerda. At the summit there is an inn in historic walls with a 21 meter high observation tower. You can find more information and opening times here: http://www.butterberg.com/.

The lodge and the King John Tower on the summit are closed because the tenant and the municipality are at loggerheads with each other. Let's hope that both parties can come to an agreement at some point.

The Czorneboh is one of the highlights in the region. Many visitors flock here especially at the weekend. There are ascents of various difficulties to the summit. I chose the crossing from Hromadnik over the ridge. Adventurous but very cool. There is refreshment in the mountain hut and then you definitely have to go up the tower. The view to the west and north is wonderful. Unfortunately, towards the south and east, the trees are now taller than the tower. Since 1867 there has been a station of the Royal Saxon Triangulation on the tower. The granite pillar in the tower structure is a reminder of this. "The Royal Saxon Triangulation (here with the historical proper name) is a state survey carried out in the years 1862 to 1890 on the territory of the Kingdom of Saxony with the simultaneous creation of a trigonometric network. The aim was to record the national territory scientifically and geodetically and to create the basis for the production of precise maps by establishing permanently marked reference points." - https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B6niglich-S %C3%axial_triangulation#stations_2nd_order From the station one observed from N.T.R.

Like all mountain inns, a worthwhile destination. Here you can take a wonderful break both outside and inside. Unfortunately, the guest rooms are no longer available. The observation tower should definitely be climbed. The view extends far over the mountains on one side and far into the flatter north. The actual summit of Czorneboh is a little away from the inn.

A worthwhile summit with a hut, dishes are "handmade" and there is also wheat beer on tap and many other things. There is a great panoramic view from the tower.
