    At 1,042 meters above sea level, the Čerchov (also known as Schwarzkopf or Schwarzkoppe) is the highest mountain in the Upper Palatinate Forest (Český les) and the northern peak of the Bohemian Forest. It lies approximately 2 kilometers from the German-Czech border in the Czech Republic, roughly in the center of a triangle formed by the towns of Waldmünchen, Furth im Wald, and Domažlice.

      An old tower at Cerchov, which served a different purpose during the Cold War than it does today. Unfortunately, the tower and its associated bistro, run by the Taus Tourist Club, are only open in July and August. Therefore, the tower can only be climbed then.
