St. Oswald Parish Church in Haslach

Highlight • Religious Site

The small but charming village of St. Oswald bei Haslach not only impresses with a beautiful church and typical refreshment stops, but also with wonderfully green nature in front of and behind its gates. A paradise for hikers but also for mountain bikers.

Oberhaag Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Oberhaag is a very low-traffic connection between the Austrian Mühlviertel and the Czech South Bohemia (Jihočeský kraj). The Böhmerwald Landesstraße, as the road is called on the Austrian side, was drawn in the forest as if with a ruler and its construction was primarily for forestry reasons. The picture is similar in the Czech Republic: long straights. At the apex of the pass road is the Schwedenschanze, a late medieval protective wall to protect against invasions by Hussites, Swedes and Turks. From Aigen-Schlägl, the ascent with its ungracious three straights really gets down to business. They are drawn into the landscape as if with a ruler. The first straight crosses Diendorf, where the ascent exceeds the double-digit percentage for the first time and remains in this area up to the apex.
At the latest on the second straight one would like a few switchbacks from the planners of this street, but it remains a straight line. Shortly before the second curve, the ascent reaches its highest gradient of 14%. But it's not far from there.

Swedish Fortification Near Oberhaag

Highlight • Historical Site

The Schwedenschanze von Oberhaag protected against invasions by the Hussites, Swedes and Turks in 1469. Like many late medieval ramparts, this complex was given its current name after it was expanded during the Thirty Years' War. Near the Haagerhof there is a beating path leading through the entrenchment.

Guglwald

Highlight • Settlement

Wonderfully secluded between green meadows, granite rocks, spring water and moors lies Guglwald. Right on the border with the Czech Republic, this is really a fine place for cycling. If you want to stay a little bit there is a lot to discover, especially about the life on the border and the history of the area. And if you want to go a little further, make a detour to the Czech city of Lipno on the Vltava Reservoir, which is the largest lake in the Czech Republic.
