The Ungerberg is a mountain located south of Neustadt in Saxony and belonging to the urban area. With a height of 537.2 m above sea level. NHN , it is a popular excursion destination in the region. Hiking trails lead up the mountain from six directions. The summit can also be reached via an access road.
Restaurant and lookout tower
The mountain, which at that time was still largely unforested, was already a popular vantage point when the Elbe Sandstone Mountains were opened up for tourism and which was praised by Wilhelm Leberecht Götzinger . When growing trees increasingly blocked the view, the manor owner von Burkersdorf had a covered wooden observation tower built in 1846. A small tavern opened at the foot of the tower. But in December 1848 the tower was destroyed by arson.
Today's stone tower, known as the Prinz-Georg- Tower, was built in 1885 with a height of 18 m. Julius Missbach from Neustadt in Saxony (born September 8, 1831 in Gelenau near Kamenz , † December 8, 1896 in Neustadt in Saxony) made a decisive contribution in 1883 to laying the foundation stone of the stone tower and building the restaurant . In 1973 a renovation took place in which the tower was raised. Today its height is about 33 m. There is also a mountain hotel with a restaurant on the hill, which was built on the foundations of the 1885 inn that burned down in 1929. The area with the observation tower and the restaurant was acquired by a foundation company, which reopened both the tower and the inn in the summer of 2018. There is also a small animal enclosure .
Telecommunications tower
On the Ungerberg there is also a 74.9 meter high telecommunications tower ( type tower FMT 9) built after German reunification , which is also used to distribute VHF radio programs. The programs are broadcast in analogue and in the digital DAB + standard as follows:
