    At 1,379 meters, the Plöckenstein is the highest point in the Mühlviertel region. From the viewpoint, the view extends far across the Czech Republic, Austria, and Bavaria. A tranquil spot on the European Green Belt – with a memorial stone, wind rustling through the spruce trees, and the feeling of being on top of the world.

    Rather inconspicuous on the side of the road.

    Hiking

    The Hufberg is a small elevation in the Bohemian Forest (Šumava) a few hundred meters from the border triangle of Germany, Czech Republic and Austria. The highest elevation of the Bohemian Forest, the Plöckenstein (Plechý, 1378m) is a stone's throw away. Due to the heavy bark beetle infestation, the tree population has suffered greatly, large areas over 1000m above sea level are completely tree-free. Storms did the rest.
