The deserted village of Pomezná (Markhausen) is located in the Rathsam nature reserve, which lies at the confluence of the Eger/Ohře and Röslau/Reslava rivers. The remains of a gate tower from the Markhausen fortress, which was destroyed in 1462, are still standing here. This is referred to as the "Frankenturm" or "Box". After the destruction of the village, the tower was left to decay. Remains of the walls of two storeys and the barrel vault of the cellar have been preserved from the square building with a basement, eight meters long.
