The Kohlhaukuppe is a mountain in the Eastern Ore Mountains near Geising not far from the border with the Czech Republic.
== History == In older documents the mountain was just called Kuppe or Koppe which means "dome-shaped hill". When, in 1889, the House of Wettin celebrated its 800th anniversary and numerous festive events were held in the Kingdom of Saxony, the mountain was renamed the Wettinhöhe ("Wetten Heights") and a , iron observation tower was built on the summit. It was inaugurated on 16 June 1889.
