Mountain for sale on eBay with price slashed to $235,000
A tabletop mountain that inspired a 19th-century artist is for sale on eBay for a fraction of its original $1.2 million price tag. The Zirkelstein, the smallest table hill of Saxon Switzerland, was listed for sale on the online platform on July 15. The current owners hope to get at least $235,000 for the hill, which rises about 1,261 feet above the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, also known as the Elbe Sandstone Highlands. The peak, which is wooded and cone-shaped, with a notable 130 foot-table-top summit of sandstone, gained fame after German landscape artist Caspar David Friedrich painted it in the background of his 1818 masterpiece “Wanderer above the Sea of Fog.”
