Havran Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

Very well restored border tower from the Cold War, now a great vantage point with a great view of the Bohemian, Upper Palatinate and the Bavarian Forest.

The Kreuzstein is a mighty granite stone and marks the border between Bavaria and Bohemia. A carved cross is clearly visible on the south side, while the inscriptions "Bohemia" on the east side and "Bavaria" on the west side can only be seen in good light. A furrow on the plate indicates the boundary line. Otherwise, the stone still bears a number and the year of the last boundary setting 1843. The cross stone has probably been marking the boundary for around 1,000 years.

Silberhütte Shelter

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Silberhütte mountain refuge was built in 1932 by the Upper Palatinate Forest Association (OWV), enlarged in 1940, and an additional storey was added in 1957. The Silberhütte was originally run as a restaurant with guest rooms. The village, distinguished by its snow-sure location at an altitude of 818 meters, developed into a center for hiking, but especially for cross-country skiing. Since 2016, no tenant has been found for the once popular excursion restaurant. In 2018, the OWV sold the mountain refuge and its two-and-a-half-hectare site to the town of Bärnau. All plans for revitalization, most recently the planned conversion to a climate and nature awareness center in 2022, have failed since then. It looks as if the Silberhütte is becoming a lost place.
