The postpost in Oberwiesenthal is one of many that once formed a network of points connecting Warsaw to Dresden. It is one of the more impressive distance posts. It bears the letters "AR" - the monogram of the Latin Augustus Rex (King Augustus). It is still decorated to this day with the gilded and polychrome emblems of the Republic and Saxony, topped by the Polish royal crown. The distances to the most important cities and towns along the route are inscribed on the walls of this approx. 430 cm high pillar. The date when the post was erected - 1730 - and the post sign still in use today - the trumpet of the postman - are engraved in the lower part.
