Memorial for the displaced inhabitants of Pabstleithen

Highlight • Monument

A moving place that invites you to pause and reflect. The memorial plaque and information point at Pabstleithen commemorate the fate of 57 families who were forcibly resettled between the 1950s and 1970s due to the proximity to the border. Where hikers now walk in the silence of the Green Belt, entire livelihoods were destroyed in the past.

View of the Old Border Tower

Highlight • Monument

From here you can see the former GDR border tower near Wiedersberg. It stands as a warning monument directly on the border between Saxony and Bavaria. In combination with the nearby Dreiländereck (three-country point), the oppressive history of the division, but also today's peace on the Green Belt is particularly noticeable here.

Dreiländereck on the German Green Belt

Highlight • Monument

A highlight on the former death strip, which today connects the countries as the "Green Belt" lifeline. In addition to the historical border stones, the lovingly maintained soldier's grave on the German side is a silent witness to the past. The information boards on site provide a very clear explanation of the history of the surrounding deserted settlements.

Wayside Cross with Rest Area

Highlight • Monument

The atonement cross is said to be a sign of a serious crime: A duel between two officers took place here. One of the duelists did not survive this conflict. As a result, the "right of atonement" was applied, which enabled the criminals to work off their deeds by erecting an atonement cross at the scene of the crime.

After we were guided across a cow pasture after the former barracks and the vanished village, we had to change our plans. So we walked almost twice as far, saw even more and from the border back to Germany, we were pushed towards the car by thunder. Shortly before the border triangle, there was lightning and rain ⛈️ Luckily, we …

The tour begins in Hranice/Roßbach, heading north-west across the border to Ebmath in Saxony. Then it goes through the forest to the disappeared village of Pabstleithen, which had to give way to the GDR border security in 1974.

The hike begins at the border triangle (Bavaria, Saxony, and the Czech Republic) and leads on the Czech side (red line) to the westernmost town in the Czech Republic, Hranice. The return journey initially follows paved paths and roads; unfortunately, there are no trail markers for the Czech side. From Ebmath, the route becomes more relaxed again, following field and …

Today and tomorrow I have planned training tours again for a week-long hike at the beginning of May in the Eifel region. Originally, the plan was to walk from the Dreiländereck to Cheb in two days, but since it was not possible to use the regional bus between Rehau and the Dreiländereck even after an inquiry a week ago (NO …
