December 31, 2024,Wanderung Böhmerwaldturm – Wirtshaus Ples Runde von Stadlern

The climb to the Bohemian Forest Tower is easy to master with caution, but a view of indescribable beauty awaits you on the mountain. If the weather is good, you can see the Arber and the other mountains nearby. The …

Short hike through a beautiful cultural landscape. Nice that nowadays the nationality no longer plays a role. The view from the Bohemian Forest Tower is breathtaking.
