history
Large parts of the originally dense forests were cleared to gain arable land. South of the mountain ran over the 353 m above sea level. NN located Mehltheuerpass the old Cunewalder Marktsteig from Cunewalde to Bautzen . In contrast to most of the mountains in the Lausitzer Bergland, the Mehltheuerberg was previously not subject to any forestry use and remained a farming forest. This led on the one hand to the preservation of the deciduous forest, but on the other hand also to heavy clearing, which extends up to a height of 300 m on the north slope and up to 370 m on the south slope . The term Ferdinandshöhe derives from a previous owner of the free Good Pielitz ago. There is a memorial stone overgrown with ivy on the summit.
flora
The summit and the upper north slope are covered with pedunculate oak- birch forest and heavy hazel vegetation. Mountain elder , blueberry , meadow quail wheat and bracken dominate the undergrowth . In the southern area, rare warmth-loving plant species grow under hornbeams and sessile oaks .
