The Wachtbergschanze near Bad Brambach in the Saxon Vogtlandkreis was a ski jumping hill in the Upper Vogtland .

In 1952 the Wachtbergschanze was built in the Elster Mountains near the Hohendorfer Mühle and opened on January 11, 1953 with a ski jumping event. The ski jumping hill was a wooden construction with a 5.5 m high inrun tower and with a K point of 28.5 it was considered a small hill . Competitions and training jumps were held on the wooden hill until 1978. From 1972 to 1974 the hill was also an official training base of the SC Dynamo Klingenthal for ski jumping . The Wachtbergschanze then had to be demolished because it was dilapidated .
