Oßlinger Berg is a mountain of Saxony, southeastern Germany.

The mountain is featured in a Wendish folktale about a family of giants who were responsible for the creation of the nearby Dubringer Berg.[1]

The mountain previously held a first order pillar of the Royal Saxon Triangulation system, a major land survey which took place from 1862 – 1890 in the Kingdom of Saxony.[2][3]
