    Tips

    JOHANNESTHAL (Janový Hutě) was a district of BUCHERS (Pohoří na Šumavě).
    As harmonious as the square appears, it is one of the many disappeared places in the border area.
    When I stand in such places, melancholy thoughts come to mind - So much destruction combined with suffering - What have the people here been through?:
    Reclamation including the construction of housing and utility rooms - drudgery for daily bread - war - expulsion - blowing up and razing the whole place...!!!


    I tried to capture what was left and can now be seen in photos.
    At the upper narrow area of the meadow near the large tree, a pot shows the way to the remains of the house behind it at the edge of the forest.


    The road is now (July 2023) roughly graveled - but will be ready again soon.

    My photos are from my tour:

      (Sometimes you just need a translation program: e.g.:
