Mysterious Loop on the German-Czech border
This round is an insider tip that especially those who discover abandoned places get their money's worth. In Ples (German Plöß) there was only one house that had been preserved for a long time, you can stop here for refreshments. There are now also holiday homes there. We continue through the "disappeared villages" Hüttenbergl and Rappauf. Passing the Weißbach spring one arrives at the former settlement Bügellohe - here there is still a single house that documents the history of the place.
Further highlights:
- Böhmerwald lookout tower
- Sautreibergasse with a view of Plöß
- the theater set Eulenberg
