The Windberg (353 m above NN) is a hill in the borough of Freital near Dresden in the German federal state of Saxony. It is the town's Hausberg or local hill.
Geomorphology and natural featuresEdit
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, is the deepest cave in Saxony with a depth of 44 metres (144 ft).
