    A cozy inn with a lovely beer garden and playground. It's very busy in the summer, as a major Czech cycling route runs nearby. The staff is friendly and the food is delicious.

    The present "Gasthaus Ples" is the only house that survived the area of the village after the erection of the Iron Curtain. The house with the then Hsn. 73, the so-called Rössler Villa, was mistaken by the border guards for agent Zika's gamekeeper's house. Josef Zika was shot in March 1953 in the Straßhütte area. As a result, the house survived as a symbol of the militant tradition of the border guard.

    Hiking

    Nice playground and plenty of space for the children. For older children there are basketball hoops and a soccer ball.
