The Landberg ( 426  m above sea  level ) is located in the Tharandt Forest near Herzogswalde in the Free State of Saxony .

The flat and wooded mountain ridge forms the northernmost landmark of the Tharandt Forest and even of the entire Ore Mountains . The mountain with its characteristic northern slope can be seen particularly well from the east. The Landberg is located between the villages of Pohrsdorf (town of Tharandt ) and Herzogswalde (town of Wilsdruff ). To the northwest of the mountain there is a settlement of the same name with a few houses. From the Landberg, due to the lack of a lookout tower, you only have a view of the northern surroundings, for example the Wilsdruffer Land to the north or Dresden . Another view from the Landberg massif is possible in the direction of Pohrsdorf.

The Landberg forms the watershed between the Elbe tributaries Wilde Sau and Triebisch .

Until 1991 the mountain plateau was a restricted military area of ​​the Soviet armed forces in Germany . From 1994 to 1998 the Landberg administrative association , to which four municipalities in the region had come together, was named after the mountain.
