The 586 m high Valtenberg is located in the northeast corner of the Elbe / Labe Euroregion. It forms the western high point of the Lusatian mountains and therefore offers a great view in all directions from the 22 m high König-Johann-Turm on the summit. With good visibility you can see as far as the Giant Mountains.
The Wesenitz rises around 400 m south-east of the summit and flows into the Elbe in Heidenau and has created beautiful gorges and valleys on its way, e.g. north of Stolpen or near Lohmen.
