Windberg (Freital)

The Windberg (353 m above NN) is a hill in the borough of Freital near Dresden in the German federal state of Saxony.

The Windberg has a striking silhouette, visible from afar.

Its narrow northwestern slope opens out into a long, broad and thickly wooded plateau.

The hill has been designated as a nature reserve and protected area since 1967 due to its near-natural woodland and rich flora and fauna.

Its tectonic cleft cavern, known as the Windbergspalte,[1] is the deepest cave in Saxony with a depth of 44 metres (144 ft).
