An information panel shows how well one could view from this point into the village of Böhmisch Reizenhain, which no longer exists since the expulsion of the Germans after World War II. Only two houses, a barn, and the cemetery chapel remain of the village depicted in historical photographs.

The bridge over the Schwarze Pockau (also Schwarzwasser, Czech: Černá) marks the border between the Federal Republic of Germany and the Czech Republic. It separates Reitzenhain in Saxony from the former town of Böhmisch Reizenhain. It is also considered the oldest existing border in Europe. It was established by Emperor Charles IV in 1372 and reaffirmed in 1459 with the Treaty of Cheb.

The stone memorial commemorating the villagers who died in World War I was erected on August 18, 1929. After the expulsion of the Germans, the stone was toppled, its inscriptions destroyed, and the entire complex vandalized. In 2001, the memorial was re-erected and consecrated once again.

A memorial site for the village of Böhmisch Reizenhain, which existed as a sister village to Reitzenhain on the Saxon side from 1401 to 1946. Today, apart from a few remnants of the walls, not even the ruins of the former buildings remain. The deserted village is called Pohraniční in Czech. In 1939, 229 people lived here. After the end of World War II, the German residents were expelled, and all the houses were razed to the ground. Only three buildings remained standing, including the chapel of the former cemetery. Today, plaques with historical photos commemorate the places along the former main road where buildings once stood.

He was a bon vivant who didn't always follow legal paths: Carl Heinrich Stülpner, to whom a memorial was erected here as Karl Stülpner. Born in Scharfenstein in 1762, the Erzgebirge soldier, poacher, smuggler, and manufacturer is still regarded as a folk hero in his homeland, occasionally even referred to as the "Saxon Robin Hood." Elaborate biographies surround him, contributing to a rich legend. Stülpner died in Scharfenstein in 1841.

This memorial stone is dedicated to Anton Günther. Born on June 5, 1876, in Gottesgab, the folk poet and composer of around 140 dialect songs, distinguished by his love of his homeland and ethnic patriotism, is also considered the inventor of the song postcard. In 1919 and 1920, the local poet visited the Reitzenhain Ore Mountains Association, founded in 1898. After Günther, suffering from severe depression, took his own life on April 29, 1937, at the age of not even 61, the association decided to erect a memorial in his honor at the Reißigmühle.
