Krásná Lípa (German Schönlind) is a deserted village in the Czech Republic. It is located six kilometers south of the city center of Cheb. The first written mention of "Schönlinten" in the Frais was in 1312. 1902, a cemetery for the inhabitants of Schönlind, Wies and Schloppenhof was created. The Czech place name Krásná Lípa was introduced in 1920. In 1930, Schönlind / Krásná Lípa consisted of 22 houses, including 15 four-sided stoves, and had 148 inhabitants. After the Munich Agreement, the village was added to the German Reich in 1938 and belonged until 1945 to the district of Eger. After the end of World War II Krásná Lípa returned to Czechoslovakia and the 127 German-speaking inhabitants were expelled. After the seizure of power by the Communists in 1948 18 of the Neusiedler fled across the border to Bavaria. The remaining 42 inhabitants were resettled from 1949. The village Krásná Lípa was devastated until 1957. In its place, a border fence and signal systems emerged. After the adjustments of the border area only a few reminds of the village. Only the cemetery was left, which was left to decay. After the fall of the Iron Curtain he was restored to a well-groomed condition. At the former railway station Slapany was a housing estate, which was named Krásná Lípa. On the railway line today leads a bike path to Hundsbach.

Located directly on the bike path, nothing is left of the place itself.
