    This is what the security fence around the whole area looked like

          steep ascent on the old military road up to the observation tower on the Havran.
          The Havran is the fourth highest peak in the Upper Palatinate Forest on the Czech side. It is located east of the Czech-German border about 1 km south-west of the deserted village of Skláře or five kilometers east of Flossenbürg. Altitude: 894 m

            In defense of the national border, scary

              Probably the most beautiful viewing platform over the heights of the northern Upper Palatinate

                Here you can enjoy a wonderful view, but you are also reminded of the course of the border and the drastic border fortifications

                  Leftovers from the Cold War

                    A few leftovers. Trained dogs were on patrol between the two fences. On the Tillenberg and Schwarzkopf, the remains of such a security system for the restricted military area are even better preserved.
