The former Grafenried (Czech: Lučina) stood on a small hill near the German border (today the Untergrafenried border crossing) west of Nemanice. Grafenried also included the villages of Anger (Upor), Seeg (Pila), and Haselbach (Liskova). Around 800 people lived there. After the end of the Second World War, the German population was expelled from the border area, and the village, with all its buildings, was gradually razed. The Grafenried church of St. George still stood until the 1970s. Although it had the status of a monument, it was blown up and demolished. On the initiative of a former German resident of the community and some historians on the Czech side, the remains of the church were partially excavated and renovated in 2011. The search for traces was extended to the entire lost village and its districts.

From the Untergrafenried border crossing, historic paths lead directly into the former, abandoned Czech village of Grafenried (Lučina). These are cross-border tours with the character of witnessing history.

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🚵🏻♂️🫶
