Waldmünchen Market Square

Waldmünchen looks back on more than a thousand years of history. The settlement was founded in the 10th century. The name Waldmünchen can probably be traced back to the forest monks from a nearby monastery, who provided pastoral care to the residents of the young village. Today you can stroll through the lovingly maintained old town and stop off in one of the numerous cafés or restaurants.

At the foot of Cerchov, the highest mountain in the Bohemian Forest, lies the climatic health resort of Waldmünchen. The border town has a history spanning over 1,000 years. Despite the destruction caused by wars and fires, the town has always been rebuilt. The medieval structure of the town centre has been preserved in the layout of streets and squares to this day.
As a recognised climatic health resort, Waldmünchen has promoted tourism as a second economic pillar. A highlight is the annual festival "Trenck the Pandur" in July and August. Over 150 kilometres of marked hiking trails invite you to cross-border hikes.
