Mysterious circular hike along the German-Czech border
This tour is an insider's tip for those who love discovering abandoned places. In Ples (German: Plöß), there was only one surviving house for a long time, where you can stop for a bite to eat. There are now also holiday homes there. The route continues through the "vanished villages" of Hüttenbergl and Rappauf. Passing the Weißbach spring, you reach the former settlement of Bügellohe - there is still a single house here that documents the history of the village.
Further highlights:
- Bohemian Forest lookout tower
- Sautreibergasse with a view to Plöß
- the Eulenberg theatre backdrop
