One of the "14 eight-thousanders in the Eastern Ore Mountains" - the Himalayas in the Eastern Ore Mountains!

Altitude: 805 m

The summit, which is also known as the Dragon's Head, is still referred to as such on some maps. The shape of the rock at the foot of the mountain is reminiscent of a dragon's head. However, locals now call it Kannelberg. The mountain is located in the Töpferwald forest between Nassau, Holzhau and Hermsdorf/Erzgebirge.

On the Drachenkopf (Kannelberg) you will find a stamp point which identifies the summit as a destination on the "14 eight-thousanders" tour.

With the starter pack, you can purchase your own personal stamp card, which you can use to pick up the original Gipfelstürmer T-shirt from the tourist information office at the end of the tour.

Simply order online here or buy directly at the Tourist Information Office.
