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.

The hotel "Alpská Vyhlídka" is just a stone's throw from the border. In clear weather, it offers a beautiful view from the terrace to the Alps. Delicious Czech beer and a good menu, snack and cake menu at very reasonable prices complete the overall impression. When the weather is good, it is very crowded at the weekend. A piece of border facility offers some information about the time of the Iron Curtain.
The place Bucina (Buchwald) was demolished in 1956 as part of the military restricted area. The hotel, which was used as barracks, and a chapel have been preserved. (Wikipedia)
