    Hiking

    A small shelter hut directly on the German-Czech border. The place becomes particularly interesting due to the information boards and its location on the former Iron Curtain.
    Where a heavily guarded and life-threatening border once ran, the rest area now lies in the middle of nature. During a short break, you can become aware of the history of this now so peaceful landscape.
