When Slavs repeatedly invaded the Nordgau at the beginning of the 12th century, Margrave Diepold, as administrator of the Nordgau, and his friend Count Beringer of Sulzbach were forced in 1109 to settle the border with the Bohemian dukes Borsivoy and Wladislaw on behalf of the German King Henry V. One of the established border points was likely this mighty, immovable granite block. A cross, still clearly visible today, was carved into the broad, blunt cone on the south side. Barely discernible is the inscription "Bohemia" on the east side and "Bavaria" on the west side. The slab marks the border line with a furrow cut at an obtuse angle. The stone also bears a number and the year of the last border determination: "1843." In 1997, the Bavarian-Bohemian hiking and cross-country skiing border crossing "Kreuzstein / Křížový kámen" was officially opened.

In 1347, Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian had Schellenberg Castle, which was then called "Lug ins Land", built to protect against attacks from Bohemia. On July 12, 1498, the castle was stormed under the leadership of Captain Konrad von Wirsberg, who was in the service of the Margrave of Brandenburg. The castle was partially destroyed. Their owner, Knight Moritz von Guttenberg, was captured. The castle was never rebuilt.

As if by a giant hand, granite blocks are piled on top of each other, which are actually reminiscent of stacked loaves of bread. A silver cross can be seen on top of the rock.

The Havran, in German Großer Rabenberg, is located on the Czech side of the Upper Palatinate Forest. Arriving at the observation tower, you have a magnificent view of the Bohemian Forest and the Upper Palatinate Forest.

An impressive ruin, worth visiting for the complex alone. But the magnificent views are also inspiring.

This historic site offers a fantastic view of the Upper Palatinate and Bohemian Forests.

Impressive example of a granite rock in wool sack weathering, which can often be found here in the forests. This one resembles a rock sandwich made by giant hands.

The Havran observation tower is a highlight for me because of the breathtaking view towards the Bavarian Forest, Bohemian Forest and Upper Palatinate Forest. We use the time to think, there are many historical information boards about border events, I will definitely stop by again.
