This Trig Point was found with a little bit of luck and skill.

After taking the funicular to the top, I was hoping to find a trig point. After asking around, no locals had seen it. I hunted around and found a Hohenmarke at a seeming high point. Starting to get familiar with what I was looking for and having seen pictures of other TP's, I suddenly spotted a post on the side of a building behind a fence. Getting out my telephoto lens, I could read the TP on this stud. Eureka!

These coordinates were taken at the fence, about 10 yards north of the Trig Point. I attempted to hold the GPSr at the same elevation and used waypoint averaging.

Elevation (m) above NN: 577

Sign on the top: Letter 'TP'
