The old stone bridge spans the Geißbach stream. It now has a metal railing, which detracts from the bridge's beauty.

The Liebenstein reservoir in the municipality of Plößberg covers an area of 40 hectares and has a normal water level of seven meters. Due to its scenic location, the Liebenstein reservoir has become a popular local recreation area. The area around the reservoir is ideal for boating, fishing, cycling, and hiking.

Remote, but still worth a visit...

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.

At 901 meters, the Entenbühl is the second-highest elevation in the German part of the Upper Palatinate Forest after the 938-meter-high Kreuzfelsen in the Cham district. Below the summit lies the Hubertus Chapel. It was built as a wartime bunker in 1938 and converted into a place of worship by the Upper Palatinate Forest Association in 1998. The wooden summit cross was erected in 2000.

The sports and leisure center, operated by the Förderkreis SLZ Silberhütte e.V. (Swiss Alpine Skiing Association), offers cross-border cross-country skiing and biathlon trails, some of which are illuminated. The total length of the trails is approximately 50 kilometers, with varying levels of difficulty. Designated hiking, cycling, and mountain biking trails invite year-round use of the center on the border ridge between Bavaria and Bohemia.

The Silberhütte mountain refuge was built in 1932 by the Upper Palatinate Forest Association (OWV), enlarged in 1940, and an additional storey was added in 1957. The Silberhütte was originally run as a restaurant with guest rooms. The village, distinguished by its snow-sure location at an altitude of 818 meters, developed into a center for hiking, but especially for cross-country skiing. Since 2016, no tenant has been found for the once popular excursion restaurant. In 2018, the OWV sold the mountain refuge and its two-and-a-half-hectare site to the town of Bärnau. All plans for revitalization, most recently the planned conversion to a climate and nature awareness center in 2022, have failed since then. It looks as if the Silberhütte is becoming a lost place.
