The Spitzberg (Spicak) on the Czech side is much more extreme, but this one is quite nice too. 🤘🏼🚴🏼🤪

Using the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention of the human spirit of discovery, the origins of which can be traced back to times long past. Thanks to such a construction, a natural or artificially created watercourse could simply replace human or animal muscle power with the power of the natural elements, for example to grind grain into corn or to press oil from fruit. There are essentially two different ways of driving watermills: * Either the flowing water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or * the water is guided above the wheel - usually through a so-called "mill channel" - and falls onto the blades; this type of construction is more efficient due to natural gravity.

"The Royal Saxon Triangulation (here with its historical proper name) is a national 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 territory of the state in a scientifically and geodetically precise manner 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%A4chsische_Triangulirung The triangulation network created by August Nagel was considered one of the most precise surveying networks in the world at the time. The Nagel columns are now preserved as technical monuments. The Spitzberg in particular offers a fantastic panoramic view of many of the stations - Kottmar, Czorneboh,... all the way to the Jeschken.

A literary monument - albeit rather bizarre in the context of the story - is the Spanish author Miguel de CERVANTES, who commemorates the windmills with which our ancestors harnessed the energy of the wind centuries ago to move the large and heavy millstones : In one episode, his tragic novel hero DON QUIXOTE, the "knight of the sad figure", wants to defeat her in a duel in the belief that he is fighting against giants with four arms.
