June 15, 2026, Glasberg Observation Tower

The measuring point (in the middle of the field) on the Glasberg was in the 19th century station 123 of the Royal Saxon Triangulation. "The Royal Saxon Triangulation (here with its historical proper name) is a land survey carried out between 1862 and 1890 in the territory of the Kingdom of Saxony, with the simultaneous creation of a trigonometric network. The aim was to scientifically and geodetically accurately capture the state territory and to create the basis for the production of accurate maps by establishing permanently marked fixed points. The Großenhainer baseline was determined as the scale-defining basis." - https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B6niglich-S%C3%A4chsische_Triangulirung From the Oberalbertsdorf station, the neighboring stations Fuchsberg, Hospitalberg, Sorge, and Reust were sighted. Today, not all sightlines still exist, but the place offers a fantastic view of the mountains of the Westerzgebirge and Vogtland.
