König-Johann-Turm and Valtenbergbaude on Valtenberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

With a height of 587 meters, the Valtenberg is the highest peak in the Lusatian highlands, expanding from here to the east towards the Lusatian Mountains. Above you will find a lookout tower and a nice mountain dwelling. The Baude and the tower are open all year from 10 to 17 clock, only on Mondays and Fridays is closed. From the observation tower, you have a unique view of the surrounding landscape, with a good view, the view extends to the Elbe Sandstone Mountains and the Giant Mountains.

May 14, 2026,Wanderung auf und um den Valtenberg

Our hike started with a short but heavy shower, but then we had super nice hiking weather.
There were some people on the way to the Valtenberg.
This was probably also because the inn has reopened.
From the tower, you could see far into the country today.
We were naturally very pleased that we caught such a nice weather window …
