Grenzplatte Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Especially at sunrise and sunset you can enjoy the great view of the village Ostrov on the Czech side. If you are well equipped, you can enjoy the night under the open sky with a view of the Milky Way.

Hercules Columns (Herkulessäulen), Bielatal

Highlight • Natural Monument

Although the Hercules Columns are the figurehead on some hiking maps in the area, you mostly move away from the tourist streams to reach the bizarre rock towers.
Fortunately, for forest trail hikers, they are right on the edge of the path.

Today only a hiking trail, but once an important route for the sale of goods from the hammer mill in Eiland. The attached plaque reminds us very clearly of this.

This tranquil hike 🥾 takes us to the Bielatal... the climbers' Eldorado.

The journey into the valley is already beautiful ☺️.

We start the hike at the Ottomühle car park at the end of the Bielatal road.
The path takes us along the Biela below the climbing rocks to the Grenzplatte.☺️
You walk on beautiful paths through fern-covered forest🪴🌳🌿.

Before shopping, we went hiking in the beautiful Bielatal in sunny weather.

We parked at the Hercules Columns nature park.

From there we went over hill and dale with a view of the Hercules Columns towards the Czech Republic.

Beforehand, I also wanted to test how strong my ankle ligaments are. Have held. ☝🏻

The starting point was the Ottomühle car park (day ticket with 3 euros very humane). Then it went further up, over the rock towers, with fog and rain - and still beautiful!
