April 4, 2026, Ruins of Neumugl (Former Bohemian Village)

If you venture a little bit into the forest to the right of the monument, you will find a long, old wall. If you follow it to the right, you will also find stone foundations and even cellars to the right above the wall. Gruesome to think what must have happened here.

The village of Neumugl belonged to the parish of Ottengrün and was closely connected to Bavaria, even though it lay on Bohemian territory. It was a typical border village, whose inhabitants often worked as foresters or in agriculture. After the Second World War, the German-speaking population was expelled. Due to its location directly on the "Iron Curtain" within a military restricted zone, the village was razed to the ground by the Czechoslovak authorities in the 1950s to prevent escape attempts and to ensure an unobstructed view.

Neumugl was a Bohemian village that was abandoned after World War II and became a deserted settlement (1946), the remains of which can be visited today by hikers. It was located in the Karlovy Vary region, in present-day Czechia, near the Bavarian border. The inhabitants lost their homeland and initially settled in Bügellohe in Bavaria, where the abandoned village can still be visited today.
