The Schafberg (Upper Sorbian: Šafberg) is a hill, 450.5 m above NHN,[1] east of Löbau in the Saxon county of Görlitz.
Together with the neighbouring Löbauer Berg (447.9 m above NHN[2]) it forms a single hill unit.
The story of a rock formation used for the calendrical observation of the sun has been passed down from a prehistoric period.
This rock formation is known today as the Geldkeller ("money cellar") and serves as the basis for several legends.
[3] In addition, there are the remains of an approximately 3000-year-old ring wall on the mountain, which once served to protect a Bronze Age settlement.
