Hiking Border Crossing at the 11'er Grenzstein

Highlight • Trail

Small "unofficial" hiking border crossing from which you can directly access the green hiking trail in the Czech Republic. Turn left towards Na zlomu - Sattelhütte or Čerchov. On the right you go towards Tři znaky - Dreiwappen or Gibacht with all its highlights.

Čerchov Observation Tower and Former Military Site

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Čerchov is at 1042 m n.m. the highest mountain in the Upper Palatinate Forest and the northern peak of the Bohemian Forest. It is about 2 km from the German-Czech border, roughly in the middle of a triangle formed by the towns of Waldmünchen, Furth im Wald and Domažlice.

Lehmgrubenweg Border Crossing

Highlight • Structure

The Cerchovsteig leads from Waldmünchen over the Lehmgrubenweg hiking border crossing to Cerchov. Right on the border, a shelter with a seating area invites you to take a rest.
Clay used to be mined here, the name still reminds us of this and you can still see the mining cuts in the forest.

New Bildl Beech

Highlight • Religious Site

Unfortunately the old picture book "Due to illness" had to give way. But only 5 meters on the opposite side the "Bildl" was attached to a small beech tree. It's not the old picture beech yet, but year after year it will become more and more so.

Water trough on the way to Čerchov

Highlight • Rest Area

Rebuilt this year. The ideal place to cool off before climbing the Cerchov mountain, which is Waldmünch's local mountain.

Teufelsbrücke and waterwheel on the stream

Highlight • Structure

Cozy place to cool down on hot summer days. Pavilion with seating right on the flat creek edge. In winter you can often marvel at the most bizarre ice formations.

Finally back in the Bayerwald and finally the Cerchov, the King of the Bohemian Forest and at 1042m also the highest elevation of the Oberpfälzer Wald. The varied tour led in the best cycling weather over forest roads, trails and singletracks around the Gibacht mountain massif. The beautiful area of the Waldmünchner holiday land has a lot to offer for …
