View of Schupfenteich

Highlight • Lake

What an idyllic place! In the evening or very early in the morning, the water surface of the Schupfenteich is completely smooth and acts as a mirror for the surrounding landscape.

Lourdes Grotto

Highlight • Religious Site

The Lourdes Grotto, located near the Mitterhof monastery estate, was built in 1904 based on the world-famous model and is a quiet place for devotion and prayer. Located directly on the barrier-free and paved hiking trail no. 8, the grotto is a popular destination for guests and locals.

Mitterhof Ostrich Farm

Highlight • Rest Area

The former monastery estate was used for centuries as a crangienhof (self-sufficient farm) for the monastery. He is probably also the court with the most eventful history, but certainly one of the oldest and at that time the largest in terms of area in the northern Upper Palatinate. The heart of the Mitterhof has existed since the 16th - 17th centuries and is a listed building as a whole.
It is built as a four-sided courtyard with a large garden adjoining it, which is surrounded by a high wall. At the southern tip there is a small chapel that is also open in the summer months. It is worth a visit, it has been beautifully renovated.

The castle, which is first mentioned in 1217, was built by the Lords of Kiensberg, who were bound as ministers to the Eger Palatinate. From the castle itself, the massive keep with classic ears of corn (Opus spicatum) was preserved. From its tower-like Palas only the barrel-vaulted basement was preserved.

Bridges Over the Odrava River

Highlight • Bridge

This steel structure probably dates back to the Cold War era. Fortunately, you don't cross the Odrava on it, as that would be impossible with a stroller or a dog. A bridge has now been built next to it that is easy to walk on. It just has a few cracks in the ground.

A small border crossing for pedestrians and cyclists with great symbolic significance: the gap in the railway network caused by the Iron Curtain is now closed by one of the first Czech railway tracks. A section of the old railway track is still there. There is also a bench and information boards.
