Buchberg (Zittau Mountains)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Buchberg (German pronunciation: [ˈbuːxˌbɛʁk]) is a wide cone-shaped mountain on the northern edge of the Zittau Mountains which is 651 m above sea level (NN).[1] The Buchberg is entirely wooded. Whilst the mountain drops steeply to the east and north, it slopes away relatively gently to the south and west. South of the mountain is an area of raised bog which forms the source region of the Svitavka.
