Phew, made it🏔️, arrived at the top and conquered the Čerchov (with MTB) and as a reward you now have a wonderful view at 1042 meters. Besides the wooden house facade with the inscription „ČERCHOV 1042“, the two towers also come into view during my summit push, they make the summit of Čerchov so special. The older stone tower was completed in 1905, this tower is public and can be climbed with 120 steps to the viewing platform, super great view🔝. The concrete tower was built in 1987 by the army and had a control function during the „Cold War“, probably why it is not public. In any case, a great mountain and there are many many ways to get lost. In any case, I will tackle the very interesting mountain again with my boots😃, it's worth it🚵🏻♂️🫶

A beautiful little forest chapel at the end of the Stations of the Cross. The chapel is clad with wooden shingles.

At the point where the Chamb River splits into two branches, there's a large shelter with several tables. Behind it, there's a bridge and direct access to the Chamb River. A lovely spot for a rest!
