The summit of the Löbauer Berg is located about 1.8 km east of the center of the town of Löbau. At the summit is the cast-iron König-Friedrich-August-Turm designed as an observation tower with a tower restaurant.

Due to its good location, this summit offers an excellent view. To the south rises the Kottmar and behind it the mountain range of the Zittau and Lusatian Mountains; to the east, you can see Rotstein as well as the Landeskrone near Görlitz; with sufficient visibility, the mountains of the Jizera and Giant Mountains can be seen. Further north, the Königshain Hills are visible, followed by the vast plain in the north of Upper Lusatia, from which the silhouette of the lignite power plant Boxberg stands out. To the northwest, the view extends to the towers of the town Bautzen as well as the Hochstein.
