A castle, including an extensive park, beautiful architecture and lots of nice places to stop for a break: this is how the charming town of Nové Hrady (German: Gratzen) presents itself. Take enough time to discover it!

Pyhrabruck border crossing

Highlight • Monument

The border station is reminiscent of times when the political climate was frostier. Today the station is used for other purposes and you can cycle freely between countries.
