Hiking

Former village that was completely demolished in 1956 because it was in the border strip. Only a chapel and a hotel remained. Today there is a memorial for the "Iron Curtain" at the hotel. The Hotel "Alpská Vyhlídka" is only a stone's throw from the border. When the weather is clear, it offers a beautiful view from the terrace to the Alps Overall impression, very crowded on weekends when the weather is good.
