The tower was built in 1913 by Professor Franz Xaver Mayer. After the Second World War, the "Iron Curtain" ran through here, separated only by a path. After changing ownership, the city of Bärnau acquired it in 2009. The tower has become a landmark and is a popular photo opportunity. The Borderland Tower offers a magnificent view of the Czech Republic, far into the Tachov area.

The Grenzlandturm near Bärnau is a highlight for me because of the architectural style, which you wouldn't expect here at the edge of the forest on the Bavarian-Bohemian border.

Whether summer or winter: the Bärnauer Grenzlandturm is always a worthwhile hiking destination! From the borderland tower there is a wonderful view to the Czech Republic, far into the Tachov area. In addition, irregular theater performances take place at the Grenzlandturm. Terrmine under historisches-baernau.de.
