Hirschteinhäusel (Czech: Herštejnské Chalupy) is a former village in the municipality of Nemanice. It was first mentioned in writing in 1697. After the Second World War, the German inhabitants of the village were expelled. The village was not resettled due to its remoteness and proximity to the Iron Curtain. In 1955, Hirschsteinhäusel was declared extinct. Only some overgrown foundation remains of the houses are still visible. And a wayside cross commemorates the place, which had 130 inhabitants in 38 houses, almost exclusively Germans.

Hirschsteinhäusel - also a vanished village in the Bohemian Forest. It was located on the western slope of the mountain Lissa, at an altitude of 700 m. The village once had 38 houses and 244 inhabitants. In 1957 the village was razed to the ground. A fountain and two crossroads contribute together to the special atmosphere of this forgotten place.
