description
The Zigeunerberg is a slightly prominent, wooded mountain that is in front of the mighty potter in the southeast. There are several sandstone rocks on its peak, which does not offer a view. More rocks protrude from its northern slope, including the Geldstein and Hellstones. The mountain is located on a tectonic fault running west from the upper Weißbachtal over the Karlsfried and the Heideberg, which turns sharply to the southwest on the Zigeunerberg and then continues below the Brandhöhe to the Fürstenhöhe.
South of the summit, the Haberkornweg leads from the Alte Gabler Straße via the Napoleonschmiede and Binis Hüttl in the Pfaffenbachtal to the potter. To the west, the Geldsteinweg runs between the Zigeunerberg and Töpfer.
history
A remnant of a late Slavic vessel from the 11th or 12th century found on the slope of the Gypsy Mountain is the oldest evidence of settlement in the corridors of Lückendorf.
A millstone quarry has been operated on the eastern slope of the Gypsy Mountain since the middle of the 19th century.
In the course of the "Heimatgeschichtliche Lehrpfad Lückendorf" created by the Lückendorf Association for the Promotion of Culture and Tourism in the Euroregion Neisse eV from 2003 onwards, Binis Hüttl also got access to the millstone quarry on the Zigeunerberg and an information board was set up.
