history

The Dutch windmill

On the eastern slope of the Kahleberg there was a Dutch windmill built by Eduard Zückler since 1830 . It was destroyed by the Prussians in the German War in 1866 and never rebuilt. In 1897, the 13-high and 9.3-m-thick mill stump was raised to 20 m by Adolf Zückler for tourist purposes and converted into an observation tower. At the same time an inn was built next to it. After the Second World War, the village of Vysoký, which had previously lived mainly from the booze , died out.

At the beginning of the 21st century, a wind farm consisting of eleven wind turbines was built on the mountain. It consists of six "Tacke TW 500" turbines with an output of 525 kW, a height of 58 m and a rotor diameter of 36 m. Five “Konotech” wind turbines were added later.
