アイベンシュトックの峠・トップ9

If you don't want to cross the road directly, the bridge is a better alternative.

Green border. On the German side, a long gravel road leads uphill, while on the Czech side, an asphalt road leads downhill. At the top of the ridge, there's a snack bar in good conditions. There are some interesting information boards along the border.

Intended for cross-country skiing.

According to the notice board, the opening hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. I don't know about Mondays, so it's better to bring enough with you! The Penzion Jeleni, known to insiders as "RUDI" after the landlord, is definitely closed on Mondays.

At the pass height of 935m, the "Hirschenständer Pass", there is now a permanent building again. The snack bar was a temporary solution after the old customs building was demolished. The current snack bar is again called "Celnice" and is an institution among hikers, cyclists and skiers. There is a traditional, friendly atmosphere there. Information boards provide information about the long history of the crossing from Saxony to Bohemia, Germany to the Czech Republic. It is also definitely worth walking/driving about 2km further and visiting Jeleni, the former Hirschenstand

Nice pass to be driven from both sides with curious altitude information. 1788 (half) meters sounds a lot at first. But even the correct indication in whole meters 894m is remarkable. This makes Hefekloss one of the highest passes in Saxony.

At the foot of the bridge in the direction of the village is a Royal Saxon half-milestone on the B283. "In the Kingdom of Saxony, the preparations for the introduction of the metric system were carried out in connection with the work of the Normal Aichungscommission and the related leading work by Albert Christian Weinlig and Julius Ambrosius Hülsse. ... After a new measurement in 1858, between 1859 and 1865 a new system of Milestones – the Royal Saxon milestones in the form of station, whole mile, half mile, junction and border crossing stones – were created (from 1840: 1 mile = 7.5 km) These became partial after the introduction of the metric system around 1900 redesigned into kilometer, highway, corridor boundary or road keeper stones." - https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/course%C3%A4chsische_Postmeilens%C3%A4ule#Nachfolger

Yes, what should I say. Is a tourist magnet.
