The Hromadnik (also Döhlener Berg ) is a 514 m high mountain in Upper Lusatia .

Origin of the name

About ten meters high rock formation on the summit of Hromadnik

The name Hromadnik comes from Sorbian and is the name for a meeting place (cf. hromadźe = "together, together") or the communal forest of the farmers.

Location and surroundings

The mountain, 9 km southeast of Bautzen , forms the western end of the Czorneboh massif . To the north are the places Rachlau , Döhlen , Pielitz and Großkunitz . To the west lies the village of Cosul , in between the road from Bautzen to Cunewalde leads past the mountain. To the south lies the Cunewald valley with the towns of Schönberg and Frühlingsberg.

Sacrificial basin between Hromadnik and Czorneboh

The Hromadnik is part of various legends that entwine around the Czorneboh massif. The sacrificial basin between Döhlener Berg and Czorneboh also plays a role here, as it is a typical leaching of granodiorite rock for the area . Another deepening is called the horse bustard. On the summit of the mountain, which is mainly covered with spruce, there are rocky cliffs that are also used for climbing.

In the past, rock mining took place in the western foothills in particular, as evidenced by numerous smaller fractures, some of which are filled with water. Because of its location between Cunewalder and the Spreetal , the mountain is rich in precipitation and a source area. The butter water flowing to Cunewalde rises on the mountain.

The hiking trail of German Unity runs from Görlitz to Aachen over the Hromadnik and the Czornebohkette .
