Black Pond at Kapellenberg

Highlight • Lake

The black pond is the highest spring on the Kapellenberg. A bog is already forming (raised bog). The humic acid kills all life. The black pond plays a role in the "legend of the white woman drinking" (see pictures).

Kapellenberg Lookout Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The tower is only open from Good Friday until the end of October. An ascent is definitely worth it.

Stone Bench with View of the Egerland

Highlight • Viewpoint

The granite block, set on two pedestals, is safely located in a spot with a beautiful view of the Egerland region. However, without a backrest and warm seat cushion, it quickly becomes less idyllic.

Customs Houses of Bärendorf

Highlight • Historical Site

The three customs houses of Bärendorf, once built for customs officers and their families just a few steps from the border, form a very photogenic ensemble.

Border Crossing at Marker C 5

Highlight • Structure

This is how one imagines the "Green Border": a narrow path through the forest, only a white border stone announces that the next step will no longer take you into the Czech Republic, but into Germany.

Bärendorf Village

Highlight • Settlement

Bärendorf, part of Bad Brambach, has only 35 inhabitants and is located directly on the border with the Czech Republic. About one kilometer southeast rises the 759-meter-high Kapellenberg, part of the Elster Mountains.
