Purschenstein Castle

Unfortunately, you can't get into the castle, but at least the outdoor areas are accessible. The castle is currently used as a hotel. You can also eat in the restaurant.

Rauschenbach Reservoir

Highlight • Monument

Accessible dam. Unfortunately, there is no beautiful circular hiking trail around the dam. Unless you like walking the streets.

Ringelweg

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Yes, no traffic and great to drive. But who likes to cycle about 7km straight ahead? But: this ''bicycle road'' saves you the ascent in Holzhau, so there's a big plus!

Holzhau–Moldava Border Crossing

Highlight • Structure

The Moldavský potok (Moldau stream) forms the border between Germany and the Czech Republic. A beautifully designed border crossing takes you to the other country.

Nice view of the drinking water reservoir. The dam is not allowed to be entered. 6m deep, laid out for tin mining in Altenberg in the Middle Ages.

Very scenic tour. Finding the Stoneman stamp points was a challenge. There was a 12% gradient, but also uphill🚵🚴
